Founded in 1750, Mint Hill’s history runs deep, but its story is still being written.

Mint Hill is a place where front porches feel familiar and career paths extend far beyond its borders.

Whether enjoying a quiet afternoon at a local café or joining the cheers at a Friday night football game, Mint Hill is a place where every gathering feels like part of something lasting.
Before Mint Hill’s neighborhoods took shape, these lands were open fields, rolling pastures, and quiet farmsteads. Carolina sunlight stretched over tilled soil, and life moved with the seasons. Today, that pastoral beauty remains, woven into the town’s parks and preserves. At Mint Hill Veterans Memorial Park for example, playgrounds and picnic shelters offer space for families to gather, while sports fields and trails invite movement beneath wide Southern skies. Stevens Creek Nature Preserve provides a wilder escape, where hiking trails wind through hardwood forests and along quiet streams.
Whether you go classic with Vanilla Bean or adventurous with a seasonal favorite, a trip to Carolina Creamery is always worth the wait.
