A Little About North Charleston’s Past
Up until the Civil War, the area now known as North Charleston (sometimes called The North Area), consisted of Plantations. After which the large plantations were subdivided providing smaller parcels for farming. The US military found the area to be strong and opened the Navy Yard in 1901. During World War II, much development occurred as the military bases were expanded. “The Yard” provided thousands of jobs for many in the Charleston area right up until it’s closure in the 1980’s. Also in the early 1900’s, industry began to move in with extensive strip mining occurring right along the Ashley River. A group of local businessmen, in 1912, formed a development company with the idea of developing an industrial city. The area known as Park Circle was actually planned as one of only two US garden city models. Most of the original concept is still seen here today with areas reserved for residential, commercial and industrial uses. In 1972, the residents of the North Area won their fight to govern themselves, establishing the City of North Charleston.
