Description
Charleston Style - Original Photography by Karol Livote
The history of Charleston, South Carolina, is one of the longest and most diverse of any community in the United States, spanning hundreds of years of physical settlement beginning in 1663 through modern times. Charleston was the leading city in the South from the colonial era down to the Civil War. It grew wealthy through the export of rice and, later, sea island cotton, and it was the base for many wealthy merchants and landowners. The devastation of the war, and the ruin of the Charleston's hinterland, lost the city its regional dominance. However it remained the center of the South Carolina economy, while in politics the upstate politicians routinely attacked its aristocratic and undemocratic tone. Starting in World War II, it became a major naval base. In recent decades, tourism and service industries have led the economy to a new level of prosperity.
