"It is stated that the original colony of Charleston SC disappeared. This isn't so. It is true that they moved the township across the river for better defence against the Yemesse (Cherokee) Indians, and moskitoes in 1680-1681, but it didn't disappear, and in fact is still here as a state park.
thanks,
Paul"
