What historal event happened in south coralina?

The first permanent European settlement in South Carolina was founded in 1670. Several attempts had been made earlier, all failing. The first unsuccessful settlement took place in 1521, when Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon landed on the coast of South Carolina. He and his men were driven away by Native American tribes living in the area.

In 1562, French explorers Jean Ribault and René Goulaine de Laudonnière led a group of colonists to South Carolina and founded Charlesfort on Parris Island. The poorly supplied Charlesfort colony failed after a few years. The French tried to establish a permanent colony again in 1577 on the site of present-day Beaufort, but Spanish troops destroyed this settlement in 1580.

The English were the first to successfully settle permanently in South Carolina. Two English ships, the Carolina and the Port Royal, brought three shiploads of colonists to South Carolina in 1670, including some Barbadian slaves. They established the first permanent English settlement in South Carolina at Albemarle Point on the Ashley River, across the river from present-day Charleston. In 1670, the English founded Charleston.
