South Carolina Culpepper Archives
Charleston District/County
History
In the Carolina Low
Country, today’s Charleston County was comprised in 1706 of all or part
of the parishes of St. James Santee, St. Thomas/St. Denis, Christ
Church, St. Michaels, St. Philips, St. Andrews, St. Johns Colleton and
St. Pauls. In 1769, South Carolina was divided into seven judicial
districts which served as governmental units. Charleston District was
one of them. In 1785, Charleston was divided into six counties:
Bartholomews, Berkeley,
Charleston, Colleton,
Marion and Washington, but
none of the counties became functional and they were abolished in 1798,
at which time Charleston District was formed. In the 1790 census,
Charleston District was divided up by parish. In 1868, Charleston
District was designated Charleston County. Its county seat, the city of
Charleston, is at the southern terminus of I-26, about 110 miles northeast of
Savannah, GA and 110 miles southeast of Columbia. Charleston County is
bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, and the counties of
Colleton, Dorchester,
Berkeley and
Georgetown.
