Charleston Health Care Schools & Colleges
Charleston is affectionately known as "Chucktown".
Founded in 1670, the city of Charleston was originally known as Charlestown. Home to a large number of churches, the city is also nicknamed the "Holy City," as the low rooflines in the city seem to magnify the presence of the religious structures.
A city with a diverse population, Charleston is the only United States city with a French Huguenot Church. Additionally, the city was one of the first colonial cities to allow Jewish synagogues.
