Charleston 3218

































                 Charleston was located on the San Pedro river about 6 miles south of Fairbanks. The Tombstone
                 Epitaph on May 6, 1882 noted "Charleston has a very extensive trade with the surrounding
                 country and Sonora.  Its Mexican business is daily becoming more important, and it will continue
                 to increase until it reaches very large proportions.  The town is well regulated and free from
                 turmoil.  In fact, it is one of the most peaceful places we were ever in."
