Location of Charleston in South Carolina
This is a list of the National Register of Historic Places listings in Charleston, South Carolina.
This is intended to be a complete list of the properties and districts on the National Register of Historic Places in Charleston, South Carolina, United States. The locations of National Register properties and districts for which the latitude and longitude coordinates are included below, may be seen in a Google map.[1]
There are 184 properties and districts listed on the National Register in Charleston County, including 43 National Historic Landmarks. The city of Charleston is the location of 90 of these properties and districts, including 34 of the National Historic Landmarks; they are listed here, while the 96 properties and districts in the remaining parts of the county are listed separately. Another property in Charleston was once listed but has been removed. Three properties and districts — the Ashley River Historic District, Ashley River Road, and the Secessionville Historic District — are split between the city and the other parts of the county, and are thus included on both lists.

- ^ The latitude and longitude information provided in this table was derived originally from the National Register Information System, which has been found to be fairly accurate for about 99% of listings. For about 1% of NRIS original coordinates, experience has shown that one or both coordinates are typos or otherwise extremely far off; some corrections may have been made. A more subtle problem causes many locations to be off by up to 150 yards, depending on location in the country: most NRIS coordinates were derived from tracing out latitude and longitudes off of USGS topographical quadrant maps created under North American Datum of 1927, which differs from the current, highly accurate GPS system used by Google maps. Chicago is about right, but NRIS longitudes in Washington are higher by about 4.5 seconds, and are lower by about 2.0 seconds in Maine. Latitudes differ by about 1.0 second in Florida. Some locations in this table may have been corrected to current GPS standards.
