Charleston is the largest city in the state of South Carolina and sits along the Atlantic coastline. It is one of the oldest cities in the area and oozes charm and history everywhere you look. It was founded in 1670 and named after King Charles II of England. With its colonial history came lots of beautiful architecture that still stands to this day. Charleston’s culture is also very unique since it blends English, French, Colonial American, and even West African elements in everything such as the yearly festivals, theatrical plays, and especially the local cuisine.
