Notorious for its tourism, Charleston is a popular spot for many. It's received the title of "best city in the U.S." for several consecutive years.

English settlers came and the colony of Charles Town originated. The area evolved into a bustling seaport. By the mid-1700s, the area became a crucial port for exporting. This led to an economic boom. Incorporated in the late 1700s, the city became what we know as Charleston.

The economy revolves around several industries. Full of hotels, bed and breakfasts, and plenty of eateries, the city is a popular spot for tourists. The art industry is booming, as it has received the title of a top-25 arts destination. The information technology industry has grown over the years, as well.

The Waterfront Park Pineapple Fountain is a prime spot to catch the close of the day.

Here you will travel back in time to the scene of the Civil War's first shots. For a more nature-filled adventure, the Francis Marion National Forest awaits your discovery.
