Charleston (S.C.)

Hide Profile

When Charleston, South Carolina was incorporated in 1783 the city was divided into thirteen wards. Each ward elected one warden (alderman) at a municipal election held every September by the churchwardens of the parishes of St. Philip and St. Michael. A second and third election were soon afterwards held to select an intendant (mayor) from among the wardens and to fill the vacancy.
