Early South Carolina Settlements and Rise of Industry
The 1566 Spanish at Santa Elena lasted about 20 years while the English founded Charles Town in 1670 as the first permanent South Carolina settlement. Dr. Henry Woodward is noted as an early settler who learned local language and customs. Rice dominated the early economy for about 150 years, but industrialization surged with South Carolina textile mills absorbing cotton and woolen and synthetic goods production. Georgia is famed for peaches, yet South Carolina ranks second to California in peach production.
