The Carolina colony was established in the 1660s when King Charles II of England granted a charter to eight loyal supporters, known as the Lords Proprietors. They sought to create a prosperous colony in North America, drawing settlers with promises of land and religious freedom. The first permanent settlement, Charles Town (now Charleston), was founded in 1670, and the colony expanded rapidly due to its fertile land and favorable climate. Over time, the colony was divided into North and South Carolina in 1712, reflecting differences in governance and economic development.
