Charleston, South Carolina - Waterfront HD (2017)
Waterfront Park is a eight-acre (5 ha) park along approximately one-half mile of the Cooper River in Charleston, South Carolina. The park received the 2007 Landmark Award from the American Society of Landscape Architects and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. This award recognizes a distinguished landscape architecture project completed between 15 and 50 years ago that retains its original design integrity and contributes significantly to the public realm of the community in which it is located.
Charleston is the oldest and largest city in the U.S. state of South Carolina, the county seat of Charleston County, and the principal city in the Charleston–North Charleston–Summerville Metropolitan Statistical Area. The city lies just south of the geographical midpoint of South Carolina's coastline and is located on Charleston Harbor, an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean formed by the confluence of the Ashley and Cooper rivers. Charleston had an estimated population of 134,385 in 2016. The estimated population of the Charleston metropolitan area, comprising Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester counties, was 761,155 residents in 2016, the third-largest in the state and the 78th-largest metropolitan statistical area in the United States.
Charleston was founded as Charles Town—honoring King Charles II of England—in 1670. Its initial location at Albemarle Point on the west bank of the Ashley River (now Charles Towne Landing) was abandoned in 1680 for its present site, which became the fifth-largest city in North America within ten years. Despite its size, it remained unincorporated throughout the colonial period; its government was handled directly by a colonial legislature and a governor sent by London. Election districts were organized according to Anglican parishes, and some social services were managed by Anglican wardens and vestries. Charleston adopted its present spelling with its incorporation as a city in 1783 at the close of the Revolutionary War. Population growth in the interior of South Carolina influenced the removal of the state government to Columbia in 1788, but the port city remained among the ten largest cities in the United States through the 1840 census. The only major American city to have a majority-enslaved population, antebellum Charleston was controlled by an oligarchy of white planters and merchants who successfully forced the federal government to revise its 1828 and 1832 tariffs during the Nullification Crisis and launched the Civil War by seizing the Arsenal, Castle Pinckney, and Fort Sumter from their federal garrisons.
Known for its rich history, well-preserved architecture, distinguished restaurants, and mannerly people, Charleston is a popular tourist destination and has received a large number of accolades, including America's Most Friendly [City] by Travel + Leisure in 2011 and in 2013 and 2014 by Condé Nast Traveler, and also the most polite and hospitable city in America by Southern Living magazine. In 2016, Charleston was ranked the World's Best City by Travel + Leisure.

Charleston, South Carolina - Fort Sumter National Monument HD (2017)
Fort Sumter is a sea fort in Charleston, South Carolina, notable for two battles of the American Civil War. It was one of a number of special forts planned after the War of 1812, combining high walls and heavy masonry, and classified as Third System, as a grade of structural integrity. Work started in 1829, but was incomplete by 1860, when South Carolina seceded from the Union.
The First Battle of Fort Sumter began on April 12, 1861, when Confederate artillery fired on the Union garrison.

A Walk through Historic Charleston
The route seen in this video is as follows: starting point was Waterfront Park. From there we headed east up Concord Street to the Hazel Parker Playground and City Recreation building. Next we went South down Tradd Street then right heading west on King Street. Next, we turned left on Market to eat at Café Framboise. We went back east on Market towards the Charleston City Market(1) and walked through the entirety. We were on a hunt for the spice tables. At the end of Market, we turned right and went south down East Bay and back to our car.
We recently took a tour of The Old Exchange with our homeschool Co-op. I’ll post that video soon; it’ll be loaded with lots of history!
English colonists first landed and settled in Charleston on Albemarle Point (2) in 1670, naming it Charles Towne, after King Charles II. The landing point is in what we now call West Ashley. A couple of years later the settlement was relocated across the river on the peninsula to “Oyster Point”, or White Point Garden, so called after the discarded oyster shells left to bleach in the sun.
After the American Revolution, Charles Towne was renamed Charleston.
You can find streets downtown that are still paved with cobblestones. Ships coming across the ocean to load up with goods made in Charleston used stones as ballast and discarded them when they arrived in Charleston. In attempts to remedy the ever muddy roads, Charlestonians took the stones and paved the roads with them. Stories can be heard of pregnant women being taken down these roads in their carriages to induce labor.
At The Charleston City Market, located along the easternmost portion of Market Street, you can find local vendors selling their arts, crafts, food, books, etc. A common misconception of “The Market” is that slaves were sold here. Slaves were not sold at The Market; it was a place where poor Charlestonians and slaves daily went to buy and sell mostly food.
Slaves, to be sure, were sold in Charleston at places such as The Exchange and the Old Slave Mart on Chalmers. “In the seven decades between the drafting of the U.S. Constitution and the Civil War, more than one million American born slaves were to work the rapidly expanding cotton and sugar plantations in the lower South. In Charleston, enslaved African Americans were customarily sold in the open area north of the Old Exchange building at Broad and East Bay Streets. In 1856 a new City Ordinance prohibited the practice of public sales, which resulted in the opening of Ryan's Auction Mart and a number of other sales rooms, yards or marts along State, Queen and Chalmers Streets.” (3) “Like many states in the South, Charleston’s Plantation economy depended heavily upon slave labor. Most slaves came from West Africa. During periods of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade as many as 40% of slaves sold to the 13 colonies were brought through the ports of Charleston. Charleston had a practice of selling slaves outside, on the north side of the Customs House (now known as the Exchange Building)…In 1808 the foreign slave trade was abolished. Slaves born in the U.S. or already owned could be sold by their masters. Foreign slave traders were not allowed to bring their slaves to Charleston. This move was thought to be an attempt to help the slave owners from the Charleston area…In 1856, the city of Charleston enacted an ordinance that prohibited the selling of slaves in public. The demand for slaves continued and “sales lots”, “sales rooms or yards”, “slave houses”, and “marts” were created. The majority of these slave markets were on Chalmers, State, and Queen Streets.” (4)
Charles Towne was originally a walled city, with the city wall located roughly along current day East Bay street. In the basement of the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon, at the corner of Broad & East Bay, you can view a large portion of the original wall. Another portion of the wall was discovered recently during construction downtown (5).
Charleston is at least a foot below sea level so flooding of the peninsula is a common nuisance. Locals are used to it; you can often see residents making the best of the situation by kayaking down the streets.
You can read more about Charleston’s history at the Convention Bureau’s site (6), or any of the other beautiful historic sites in town such as:
Fort Sumter
The Pinckney House
Fort Moultrie
Magnolia Plantation & Gardens
Middleton Place (where I got married!)
Drayton Hall
McLeod Plantation
and SO MANY MORE!

The city lies just south of the geographical midpoint of South Carolina's coastline and is located on Charleston Harbor, an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean formed by the confluence of the Ashley and Cooper rivers. Charleston had an estimated population of 134,385 in 2016. The estimated population of the Charleston metropolitan area, comprising Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester counties, was 761,155 residents in 2016, the third-largest in the state and the 78th-largest metropolitan statistical area in the United States.
Charleston was founded as Charles Town—honoring King Charles II of England—in 1670. Its initial location at Albemarle Point on the west bank of the Ashley River (now Charles Towne Landing) was abandoned in 1680 for its present site, which became the fifth-largest city in North America within ten years. Despite its size, it remained unincorporated throughout the colonial period; its government was handled directly by a colonial legislature and a governor sent by London. Election districts were organized according to Anglican parishes, and some social services were managed by Anglican wardens and vestries. Charleston adopted its present spelling with its incorporation as a city in 1783 at the close of the Revolutionary War. Population growth in the interior of South Carolina influenced the removal of the state government to Columbia in 1788, but the port city remained among the ten largest cities in the United States through the 1840 census. The only major American city to have a majority-enslaved population, antebellum Charleston was controlled by an oligarchy of white planters and merchants who successfully forced the federal government to revise its 1828 and 1832 tariffs during the Nullification Crisis and launched the Civil War by seizing the Arsenal, Castle Pinckney, and Fort Sumter from their federal garrisons.
Known for its rich history, well-preserved architecture, distinguished restaurants, and mannerly people, Charleston is a popular tourist destination and has received a large number of accolades, including America's Most Friendly [City] by Travel + Leisure in 2011 and in 2013 and 2014 by Condé Nast Traveler, and also the most polite and hospitable city in America by Southern Living magazine. In 2016, Charleston was ranked the World's Best City by Travel + Leisure.

It protected the vital trading routes of the port at Wilmington, North Carolina, from 1861 until its capture by the Union in 1865. The fort was located on one of Cape Fear River's two outlets to the Atlantic Ocean on what was then known as Federal Point and today is known as Pleasure Island. Because of the roughness of the seas at this location, it was known as the Southern Gibraltar.
