Charleston County, County of South Carolina, United States.
Charleston County extends along the Atlantic coast, encompassing numerous waterways, barrier islands, and marshlands between the Ashley and Cooper rivers meeting at Charleston Harbor.
Established in 1769, Charleston County developed as a major colonial port, becoming a center for maritime trade and playing a central role during the American Revolution.
Charleston County municipalities preserve numerous buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries, reflecting architectural elements from Georgian, Federal, and Greek Revival periods.
The Charleston County Building Services Division processes permits for construction, renovations, and repairs through an online portal accessible to residents and contractors.
The county maintains the 1,045-foot-long Arthur Ravenel Jr Bridge, connecting Charleston to Mount Pleasant, featuring two diamond-shaped towers rising 575 feet above the water.
