Clover counted 6,671 residents in 2020, up from 5,094 a decade earlier, and its ZIP code, 29710, stretches all the way to the Lake Wylie shoreline. US-321 runs through town as Main Street and meets SC-55 at the town square, where a historic downtown of brick storefronts is being revived. The Clover School District serves both the town and the lake side, with Clover High School and seven elementary schools. That shared district and ZIP mean many newer Lake Wylie households come to Clover for errands, services and school events.
The town wears its heritage openly. Clover has a sister city in Larne, Northern Ireland, and that link drives two of its biggest days: a St. Patrick's Day festival that draws thousands downtown in March, and a Scottish and Scots-Irish festival each November at New Centre Park. Kings Mountain State Park and the 1780 battlefield sit a few miles west. Local businesses here tend to be owner-run, with the same person answering phones, scheduling crews and sending invoices, which is where calls and quotes slip away when the owner is on a roof.
