South Carolina. Eight English nobles received the Charter of Carolina in 1633 from King Charles II, to found a colony. The name "Carolina" comes from "Carolus," the Latin version of the name Charles. Originally all of Carolina was one colony; it was split into North and South Carolina in 1729. Charles Town was founded in 1670 at one location, which was then abandoned. The lasting settlement of Charles Town was established in 1680 at an inlet formed where the Ashley, Cooper, and Wando rivers flow into the Atlantic Ocean. By the early 1700s, the town's name came to be written usually as Charlestown, and the spelling "Charleston" was adopted in 1783 when the city was formally incorporated.
