Union Heights

Union heights is one of the earliest predominantly African American communities from slavery time in Charleston County, SC, that still exists today. It was fully incorporated as part of the city of North Charleston in 1997; this place began in 1672 with England’s grants to Lords and 1 or 2 servants. Once the site of Belmont Plantation (Pinckney Woods) was acquired in 1700s by Chief Justice Charles Pinckney, later became known as Horlbeck’s Woods or Hall Back’s Bottom.
