North Charleston, SC Parking Lot Striping

​North Charleston is the 3rd largest city in South Carolina.   The city is considered one of the state's major industrial cities and it is the state's major retail center.
​
From the 17th century until the Civil War, this area was occupied primarily by plantations.
The large plantations were continually subdivided into smaller farms as the population began moving northward. After the Civil War, phosphate fertilizer plants began to spring up, with extensive strip mining occurring between the Ashley River and Broad Path.  The main route for transportation of these phosphates would eventually become known as Ashley Phosphate Road.
