Wikipedia Description: Charleston, South Carolina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charleston is a city in Berkeley and Charleston counties in the U.S. state of South Carolina. It is the largest city and county seat of Charleston County. The city proper consists of six 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 (Oyster Point) from a location on the west bank of the Ashley River 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.

Brith Shalom Beth Israel is the oldest Orthodox shul in the South, founded by Ashkenazic (German and central European) Jews in the mid 19th century. Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim is Charleston's younger Reform synagogue.

Current trends put Charleston as the fastest growing central city in South Carolina. The metropolitan area population of Charleston and North Charleston, which includes the entire populations of Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties, was estimated to be 603,178 in 2006. This ranks Charleston-North Charleston as the second largest metropolitan statistical area in the state behind Columb ...More...

1865 photos: The photos labeled "1865" are historical photos, usually of Civil War sites although there are some more recent stuff here as well. The 1865 year is not accurate.
