Episode 81: Squeezing Charleston Neck, from 1783 to the Present - Charleston Time Machine
from Charleston Time Machine · host Nic Butler, Ph.D.
The historical definition of “the Neck” once encompassed all the land between the rivers Ashley and Cooper, but the steady growth of development whittled it down until it was finally swallowed by annexation in the late twentieth century. In this episode, we’ll complete our chronological tour of Neck geography and consider how the identity of this once blighted area is about to be reborn as the final frontier on the Charleston peninsula.
