Charleston Background
From its pastel-colored houses to its cobblestone streets, visiting Charleston is like stepping back in time. Although Charleston is a contemporary city, it's best-known for its historic sites, majestic plantations and old-world charm.
Before the Civil War, Charleston was known as a genteel port city, famed for its stately plantations shaded by mossy oaks. Many of these antebellum structures remain intact as tourist sites, along with dozens of historic homes.
Modern Charleston has inherited a well-preserved historic district. It's been named the "best-mannered" city in America and is nicknamed "The Holy City" because of its abundance of churches. Visitors and residents alike will certainly feel welcome in this charming Low Country community.
