In 1670, english settlers arrived just west of the Ashley River and founded Charles Town. Actually, as a French Huguenot descendent, I can say that French Huguenots did start arriving shortly after. Many came in the 1680's and the French Huguenot Church was founded in Charleston. It is today, the oldest and only operating French Huguenot Church in America (as most French Huguenots became Episcopals and members of other protestant churches in other parts of the country). Some of my ancestors even became Episcopal, attending St. Michael's and St. Philip's in Charleston. The carolinas split in 1712 and in 1729, SC became a royal colony.
The answer to your question though would be English settlers under the authority of the Lords Proprietors.

The colony of Carolina was settled by English settlers, mostly from Barbados, sent by the Lords Proprietors in 1670, followed by French Huguenots. The Carolina upcountry was settled largely by Scots-Irish migrants from Pennsylvania and Virginia, following the Great Wagon Road. The formal colony of "The Carolinas" split into two in 1712. South Carolina became a royal colony in 1729. The state declared its independence from Great Britain and set up its own government on March 15 , 1776. On February 5, 1778 , South Carolina became the first state to ratify the first constitution of the United States, the Articles ofConfederation .

Carolina was settled by English folks mostly from the existing colony of the Barbados islands. They were sent by the Lords Proprietors in 1670, who named the colony after Charles II of England. French Protestants, escaping from persecution, came slightly later to the low country (now South Carolina). The uplands were settled primarily by Scots and Irish immigrants from the colonies of Pennsylvania and Virginia. In early 1778, Carolina split into the two distinct states.

Edwin South Carolina. he used to run a soda fountain store but the store across the street was way better so he was like 'to heck with the soda jerk business!' and then he went and founded South Carolina. it didn't make him much money, but at least it was enough for a little home up in the mountains where his granddaughters still have 'garage sales' every single weekend, with the same junk that no one buys every single time. also, what's up with liver mush?
