Charleston (also spelled Charlestown) was platted in 1887.[2] Charles A. McCloud, for whom the community was named, was instrumental in bringing in the railroad to the area.[3][4]
A post office was established in Charleston in 1888, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1941.[5][6]
