Long ago, the North Charleston area was home to grand plantations with beautiful architecture and gardens overlooking the Ashley River.  Today, you can still visit these historic homes at Middleton Place, Drayton Hall, and Magnolia Plantation. Since its incorporation in 1972, North Charleston has tripled its population and now encompasses more than 60 square miles. Two million visitors annually flock to attractions including a 13,500-seat coliseum, a convention center, a performing arts center and an adjacent hotel complex. Truly the best of old and new, North Charleston is a vital and thriving community that cherishes its unique history.
