Charleston is a peaceful city of South Carolina’s Charleston County. It is the county seat and largest city of South Carolina. Originally, the city was founded as Charles Towne or Charlestown, Carolina. It ns named after England’s King Charles II.
The city was North America’s 5th largest city during the 1690s and now, it is amongst the 10 largest cities in the US. It lies along the south portion of the midpoint coastline of South Carolina – along the confluence of Cooper and Ashley Rivers.

The city is also regarded as “The Holy City” because of the vast number of churches along the low-rise cityscape, especially the large number of steeples dotting the skyline of the city. Aside from this, it also stands as one of the original 13 colonies providing religious tolerance towards the French Huguenot Church. Up to now, it remains the only city within the United States with this church.

Charleston is also one amongst the 1st colonial cities that allowed Jews to practice their religion without any restriction. In 1749, the Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim was founded and from then on, it is regarded as the US’ oldest Jewish congregation. Charleston, South Carolina Parks
