Mount Pleasant: Across the Cooper and the Yorktown's Anchor
Mount Pleasant sits directly across the Cooper River from downtown Charleston, connected since 2005 by the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, a cable-stayed span that replaced two aging truss bridges. The town was settled in the late 1600s and remained a small fishing community for most of its history before becoming one of the fastest-growing municipalities in South Carolina after 1970. Population has more than doubled since 2000.
Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum anchors the waterfront. The USS Yorktown, an Essex-class aircraft carrier commissioned in 1943, has been moored there since 1975 as the centerpiece of the museum. The destroyer USS Laffey and the submarine USS Clamagore share the pier. Shem Creek runs through the town center and is lined with docks from a commercial shrimping fleet that has worked the creek for generations, now intermixed with restaurants built on pilings over the marsh.
The town is home to Boone Hall Plantation, one of the oldest continuously operating plantations in the United States, founded in 1681. Its Avenue of Oaks runs three-quarters of a mile from the main road to the plantation house and has appeared in numerous films. Sullivan's Island, connected to Mount Pleasant by a causeway, contains Fort Moultrie, where colonial forces repelled a British naval attack in 1776 using palmetto-log fortifications that gave South Carolina its state nickname.
