South Charleston, a community with a population of approximately 13,000, was established in 1906 and incorporated in 1917. It was named South Charleston because it is located on the south side of the Kanawha River, opposite part of the city of Charleston.

South Charleston was the site of rapid growth in the chemical industry in the years shortly after World War I. Several chemical companies joined other industries in the area, and Union Carbide moved in 1925 from its original location in Clendenin, WV to South Charleston. R&D and Engineering for the company were concentrated in South Charleston, and in 1949 the South Charleston Technical Center was opened to house these activities.
