West Ashley is one of the six distinct areas of the city proper of Charleston, South Carolina, with an estimated 2007 population of 54,001.
It's name is derived from the fact that the land is west of the Ashley River.
Several battles took place there in the Revolution and the Civil War.
West Ashley is noted as the birthplace of Charleston as English colonists established the first permanent settlement in the Carolinas there in 1670.
The 663-acre area where the settlers first stepped ashore along the banks of the Ashley River has been preserved as a state historic site known as Charles Towne Landing which features Charleston's only zoo, beautiful gardens and a reproduction seventeenth century sailing vessel among other historical and educational amenities.
