North Charleston might become known as South Carolina's most notable "Boom Town." Incorporated in June 1972, North Charleston had a population of 21,000 and an area of seven square miles. Since that time, the city has tripled its population to over 85,000 and now encompasses more than 73 square miles. Constant growth makes it easy to see why North Charleston has become South Carolina's third largest municipality.

Today, North Charleston is a vibrant city that attracts more than 2 million visitors annually. This thriving region boasts a 13,500-seat coliseum (home to East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) minor league hockey team the SC Stingrays), a convention center, a performing arts center and an adjacent hotel complex. The city has excellent shopping facilities, malls, restaurants and beautifully planned neighborhoods.

The new North Charleston brings an atmosphere of prosperity, excitement, and continued growth to the hub of the Lowcountry.
