Charleston, South Carolina, was named after King Charles II of England. The city was originally founded in 1670 as Charles Town in honor of the king, reflecting the British influence during that period. Over time, the name was shortened to Charleston. The city played a significant role in American history, especially during the colonial and Civil War eras.
