Quality of Life
A Desirable & Safe Lifestyle
A mild climate, excellent public schools, low crime rates, abundant housing in a wide price range, ample opportunities for spousal employment, and access to artistic and cultural amenities are fueling the region’s rapid growth. These strong regional factors, coupled with the amenities found in the Town of Mount Pleasant, make it one of the premier communities to be found in the United States – just ask our residents. Our priorities reflect our focus on creating a strong family-friendly community. With numerous parks, dozens of free Town of Mount Pleasant annual events and an excellent public school system, we pride ourselves on fueling family activity. Along with our family-friendly lifestyle, we are fortunate to have abundant and creative opportunities for fun. The history buffs can enjoy educational programs at Patriots Point or travel back in time at Boone Hall Plantation. The Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge and plentiful parks offer abundant outdoor recreation with beautiful views. Every year, Mount Pleasant is recognized nationally for the cuisine offered by local restaurants and the delicious beverages from our three local breweries. If what Mount Pleasant has to offer does not entice you, the people will. Our laid-back lifestyle and commitment to community means everyone we meet is either a neighbor or friend.

South Carolina, United States
Charleston, county, southern South Carolina, U.S. It comprises a low-lying coastal region with numerous swamps and marshy areas. A portion of the Sea Islands, strung along the Atlantic coast, form the southeastern border; rivers and the Intracoastal Waterway separate the islands from the mainland. The northern end of this long, narrow county includes Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge on the Sea Islands and, inland, part of Francis Marion National Forest. In the unique environment of Kiawah Island, which includes salt marshes, woods, and sandy beaches, lives a wide variety of wildlife, including alligators, 140 species of birds, and the endangered Atlantic loggerhead sea turtle. Charles Towne Landing and Hampton Plantation state parks lie within Charleston county.
Cusabo Indians inhabited the region when European colonists arrived in the 1670s. In June 1776 colonial patriots led by William Moultrie defended a fort on Sullivan’s Island and thereby saved Charleston from British attack. Charleston county was established in 1785 and named for Charles II of England. Fort Sumter National Monument, in Charleston Harbor, marks the site of the opening battle of the American Civil War. The area became the centre of Confederate blockade running, and Confederate forces introduced submarine warfare there in 1863–64.
The city of Charleston is the county seat and is home to the College of Charleston (founded 1770) and The Citadel (a military college founded in 1842). Some of the county’s African American residents continue to speak the Gullah dialect, which contains African as well as English linguistic elements.
Tomatoes and livestock are the leading farm products. Tourism and, most of all, the commerce of Charleston, an important Atlantic port, are also primary factors in the economy. North Charleston and Mount Pleasant are other principal cities. Area 917 square miles (2,376 square km). Pop. (2000) 309,969; (2010) 350,209.
