Charleston is a city in the county of
Charleston with some incorporated areas located within the boundaries of
Berkeley County and
Dorchester County in the
U.S. state of
South Carolina; the city serves as the county seat and largest city of Charleston County. The city proper consists of five distinct areas: the Peninsula/Downtown,
West Ashley,
Johns Island,
James Island,
Daniel Island, and the Cainhoy Peninsula. The city was founded as Charlestown or Charles Towne,
Carolina in 1670, and moved to its present location in 1680; it adopted its present name in 1783. In 1690, Charleston was the fifth largest city in
North America, and remained among the ten largest cities in the United States through the 1840 census. Charleston is known as The Holy City due to the prominence of churches on the low-rise cityscape, particularly the numerous steeples which dot the city's skyline.
