The document discusses the early settlers of Charles Town (modern day Charleston, South Carolina). It notes that the first explorers were the Spanish led by Lucas Vazquez de Ayllón, though their settlement did not last. In the late 1600s, King Charles I granted Sir Robert Heath permission to settle the area below the Virginia colony, though his settlement attempt was also unsuccessful. The document provides brief background on the early European explorers and settlers of the Charles Town region prior to successful establishment of the city.
