Early History
Charleston was founded in 1670 by English colonists led by William Sayle. The city was named after King Charles II of England. Charleston quickly became a major port city and a center of trade. In the 18th century, Charleston was one of the wealthiest cities in the American colonies. It was also a major center of the slave trade.
