Greetings from SC. In the late 1600's four counties were established in SC. They were all aong the coast since the upstate was not settled. Berkeley County included Charles Town, Craven County was to the north of that, Colleton County was to the South, and Granville County was on the Savannah River. (Source: "South Carolina: The Making of a Landscape" by Kovacik and Winberry, [geography professors, USC], USC Press, Columbia, SC, 1987).
