Fort Charlotte South Carolina
- Fort Charlotte South Carolina
Fort Charlotte has also disappeared as a modern place-name, but it played an important role in colonial history. Built of stone in 1765-66 at a cost of 1,000 pounds and named after Queen Charlotte, wife of George III of England, its purpose was to protect white settlements in the Long Cane region from Native American raids. As well as can be ascertained today, it was located near the modern community of Mt. Carmel in McCormick County. Fort Charlotte was the last fort erected in the area during colonial days; it was also the scene of the first overt act of the American Revolution in South Carolina, the seizure of the fort by Major James Mayson on July 12, 1775.
