Information About

Province Of South Carolina




The Carolinas were named for King Charles II Of England . Originally a single Proprietary Colony , the Carolinas fell into a period of dissension, due at least in part to neglect from the heirs of the original Lords Proprietors. Beginning around 1710 , the settlements in North and South Carolina could not agree upon a common government and so practically, if not formally, became separate colonies. In 1729 , the two Carolinas were formally established as separate royal colonies after seven of the eight Lords Proprietors sold their shares back to the crown.
