Georgetown
The third-oldest town in South Carolina, Georgetown began life in 1526 as a Spanish colony. Next up were English colonists in 1670, who founded ‘Charles Town’. And in 1729, plans were drawn up for a city laid out on a grid system – what would become Georgetown.
Today, that most historic part of town is awash with heritage buildings. You can even walk around one of these and get a feel for the past at the 18th century Kaminski House Museum. It’s got gallons of charm too; older neighborhoods feature roads with oaks overarching them like tunnels. Stroll down East Bay Street to experience this magical atmosphere for yourself.
