The capital was moved from Charles Town (now Charleston) to Columbia in 1786 to promote a more central location for the state government. Charles Town was situated on the coast, which made it less accessible for residents in the inland areas of South Carolina. Columbia was chosen for its more strategic location, allowing better access for the majority of the state's population and helping to foster development in the interior regions. Additionally, the move symbolized the desire for a fresh start and a new beginning for the state after the American Revolution.
