Charleston: People

Charleston's population as of 2022 was 134,875 people. But this is only official, if you count how many visitors there are to Charleston, and add to them the tourists who are always in Charleston, the real Charleston population figure is much higher.

Charleston is recognized by the huge number of celebrities born here who have become famous not only in the United States, but around the world: Bill Murray, Stephen Colbert, Elise Testone, Thomas Gibson, and many others.

But Charleston is not only famous for its celebrities. The state is also home to a great number of people who all have their own stories to tell. Finding out a public person's story is easy: just search the internet and you'll find all the information you need. With non-public people, everything is a little more complicated: about them not so much information in the public domain, but it still is. For example, using search services, you can learn the history of the deceased person and find his obituary.

Obituaries: what they are and how to use them

An obituary is a kind of plaque of a person. Obituaries can be brief or more detailed. As a rule, brief obituaries contain information about the person: sex, name and surname, date of birth and death, place of birth and death, the person's age. In more expanded versions to the basic information is added information about where the person lived, what he did, what was his family and other information.

Such obituaries you can find on our site.
