South Carolina is a southeastern state known for its beaches, golf courses, and historic districts. It's the 40th largest state in area and the 23rd largest in population, and it was the eighth state to officially ratify the U.S. Constitution.The first European to arrive in South Carolina was Spanish explorer Francisco Gordillo in 1521. He captured a number of Native Americans and left. The Spanish returned in 1526 to settle the land in hopes of finding gold.
