This stamp was issued in 1970 to mark the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of South Carolina, one of the original thirteen colonies. The colony was established in 1670, and the stamp's design brings together a range of images meant to represent different chapters of the state's long history, from its earliest colonial days up through its more recent past.

The design includes a tall steeple representing Charleston's historic architecture, along with a sailing ship recalling the early settlers who arrived by sea. A Native American figure and colonial figures appear alongside symbols like a palmetto tree, a barrel, and cotton, nodding to the state's agricultural history and its role in early American trade.
