No...

You just don't understand it.

Charleston is on the North bank.

South Charleston is on the South bank.

Same with East/West in other places.

    Also, in addition to rivers and other geographic barriers being traditionally where lines are drawn, there is a pretty good chance the territories were established north and south but have expanded in opposite directions since then.
