Charleston is known for its significant role in American history. Sites such as the Old Slave Mart Museum address the domestic slave trade and highlight the city’s historical importance (https://www.charleston-sc.gov/160/Old-Slave-Mart-Museum). The Council Chamber in Charleston’s City Hall dates back to 1818 and features original chandeliers and historic portraits (https://www.charleston-sc.gov/179/Council-Chamber). It also retains original Thomas Edison light bulbs from 1896 that were operational until 1983 (https://www.charleston-sc.gov/179/Council-Chamber).
The city extends around Charleston Harbor and plays a role within the broader Charleston–North Charleston–Summerville region (https://www.charleston-sc.gov/2010/History). According to its mission statement, Charleston focuses on preserving and improving residents’ quality of life while working with regional government entities to enhance these efforts (https://www.charleston-sc.gov/403/Mission-Values).
