About North Charleston, SC
Horse-drawn carriages clip along the cobblestone streets of this historic Deep South city where the first shot of the Civil War was fired and life is leisurely beneath Spanish moss and palms. The Citadels cadets study in Charleston, visitors enjoy touring historic homes, gardens and museums. Diners feast on Low Country signature dishes, She-Crab soup and spoon bread in this city that television personality Stephen Colbert calls home. Decades of growth have made North Charleston a viable and vital city, as well.
