A historical landmark stands where the town of Charlesfort once stood aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island. The town of Charlesfort was established in 1562 by Jean Ribaut, where it was shortly taken back over by the Spanish. The town was renamed Santa Elena, and was burned down by Native Americans.
