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!
