We love strolls down Broad Street. | Photo provided by Explore Charleston
The City of Charleston was founded in 1670 and was established as Charles Town after King Charles II of England. Now that 350+ years have passed, the city and its streets are chock-full of vibrant history.
In this guide, we’re delving into the history of Charleston’s streets — specifically how they were named.
Lower peninsula
Broad Street | Broad Street was previously called Cooper Street after Anthony Ashley Cooper, a lord proprietor, but was renamed when locals started talking about the town’s new “broad” street.
Beaufain Street | Beaufain Street got its name from French Huguenot Hector Berenger de Beaufain. Beaufain moved to SC in 1735 and became one of the founders of the Charleston Library Society.
Upper peninsula
Rutledge Avenue | This road runs through the lower and upper peninsula. It was named after John Rutledge, who served as governor of SC and Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court. Read more about John Rutledge.
