BRACK: Charleston’s past reveals a lot of firsts

By Andy Brack, editor and publisher  |  Charleston will have a series of big parties next year as the Holy City celebrates the 350th anniversary of its founding.  

In 1670, English settlers first set up on Albemarle Point along the Ashley River, only to move 10 years later to the peninsula for better health and safety.  They built a palisade wall around the settlement to become the only English walled city in what would become the United States, according to historians Jack Bass and Scott Poole.
