The capital of South Carolina was moved from Charleston to Columbia in 1786 primarily to create a more centrally located government seat that would be more accessible to residents across the state. Charleston, being located on the coast, was seen as too far from the growing population in the Upstate and Midlands regions. Additionally, the move aimed to reduce the influence of coastal elites and promote more equitable representation for the state's interior regions. Columbia was chosen for its location along the Congaree River, which provided transportation and resources.
