The harbour was built between 1791 and 1801 to export copper and import coal but also ended up exporting china clay. Charlestown was named after Charles Rashleigh, a local entrepreneur who invested greatly in the area. It was previously known as West Polmear.
There is a cafe and two pubs in Charlestown plus a Shipwreck Treasure Museum.
