West Ashley is one of Charleston’s oldest suburbs. Bordering the Ashley River and Intracoastal Waterway, it has various famous historic sites such as Middleton Place, an 18th-century plantation, and Charles Towne Landing, the place where the first settlers landed.
The 1950s saw the development of the first neighborhoods in West Ashley; however, the 70s and 80s saw explosive commercial and residential real estate growth in the district. This is due to the construction of Interstate 526 in the early 80s and the Glenn McConnell Parkway in the 90s.
The history of West Ashley is a rich and interesting one; in fact, it is the birthplace of Charleston, since English settlers established the first settlement in the Carolinas there in 1670. Prior to their settlement, the Kiawah Indians occupied the area, and even led the Europeans from their ship to a suitable settling ground. The region has numerous neighborhoods, all with different home styles and amenities.
The Kiawah Indians lived in the area now known as Northbridge Terrace for centuries prior to the arrival of the first Europeans. The area was the family estate of Bernard Elliott in the 18th century when it was named Accabee Plantation.
During the revolutionary era, a line of very distinguished individuals took ownership of the plantation. Additionally, it is famous for being a place of refuge for the British. By the mid-19th century, the plantation passed from the family’s ownership and lay in ruins.
