South Carolina was named in honor of King Charles I of England.  Its terrain rises from swampy coastal plain in the southeast to the Piedmont's rolling hills, then up to the Blue Ridge Mountains in the northwest.  The region is drained by numerous rivers, including the Savannah River along the southwestern border.  Coastal resort towns such as Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head attract beachgoers, golfers, and tennis players, while Fort Sumter National Monument and Cowpens National Battlefield are important historic sites.  Visit the official South Carolina tourism site and South Carolina Atlas for South Carolina travel and tourism information.
