South Charleston was laid out in 1815. The first development was the plat of Charleston on November 1, 1815, becoming a matter of record in London on February 5, 1816, followed by the first election on September 19, 1818. The village was originally named after its first merchant, Charles Paist. However it was subsequently changed due to persistent mail difficulties.
