Charleston

Then & Now

     Named for England’s King Charles II, Charles Town was established around 1670. Renamed to its current moniker in 1790, Charleston was South Carolina’s state capital until 1783, but has remained one of the states most important cities for numerous reasons.

 

      Peninsular Charleston is surrounded by beautiful water, making it one of the busiest port cities in the country. “During the Revolutionary War the American forces defeated the attacking British fleet at Charleston in June 1776; a palmetto log fort (later named Fort Moultrie) on Sullivans Island withstood the British cannon balls, and the palmetto tree was subsequently given a prominent place on the South Carolina flag. At another Charleston fort, Fort Sumter, federal troops were fired on by Confederate forces in April 1861, signalling the start of the Civil War. Charleston County has had many famous residents, including three signers of the United States Constitution: Charles Pinckney (1757-1824), Charles Cotesworth Pinckney (1746-1825), and John Rutledge (1739-1800)."
