Charleston History
This picturesque Southern Carolina port was founded in 1670, and is enriched in history through its cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages and pastel antebellum homes. History, flavors, sights, sounds, and traditions are what make up Charleston's heart and soul. Charleston is one of the oldest cities in America, and is one of the cities that stands in all its unique glory as a testament to American history. History comes alive in the narrow cobbled streets that open up to the sea, where many landmarks and monuments lie along the coastline.
