In the 19th century, Rumney Village was home to the original Rumney Distillery along with a growing collection of creative makers, innovators, and small businesses. Over time, the area evolved into what is now known as Romney Street—thanks to a simple clerical mistake at City Hall that swapped the “U” for an “O.” While the name changed, the spirit of originality and craftsmanship never did.
Today, Romney Street remains a vibrant reflection of Charleston’s historic charm and modern energy. Surrounded by local cafés, breweries, restaurants, boutique shops, and the cultural heartbeat of Downtown Charleston, The Rumney places you right where creativity and convenience meet.
