About Charleston

Charleston is a place where people live, but it's not officially counted as a town or city in the U.S. Census. This means we don't know exactly how many people live only in Charleston. However, the larger area it belongs to, Palmyra Township, had about 1,182 people living there as of July 2015.

This community shares its postal code, 27874, with a nearby town called Scotland Neck.
