Welcome to Columbus, OH

The city of Columbus is located in the central region of the state of Ohio, at the crossing of the Scioto and Olentangy Rivers. Although the region was previously founded by Virginia surveyor Lucas Sullivant in 1797, Columbus didn’t begin to take shape until 1812, when Sullivant’s land was chosen by the Ohio General Assembly to be the site of the new state capital. Columbus, named after the famous explorer Christopher Columbus, prospered greatly once the National Road, or Cumberland Road, reached the city in 1831. Coupled with the railroads that were constructed in the 1850’s, the road served as a gateway to the West for many residents of the East Coast, and immigrants from Europe. Columbus began to see a significant number of Irish and German settlers, which added to the city’s diversity. By the end of the 19th century, the city of nearly 5,000 people thrived due to several manufacturing industries, such as the production of steel, and oddly, buggy making. Columbus was home to over two dozen buggy factories, most notably the Columbus Buggy Company that C.D. Firestone founded in 1875.

Today Columbus continues to thrive as the largest city in the state of Ohio, with a city population of over 730,000 and a metropolitan population of over 1,720,000. It is the business and cultural center of the Greater Columbus region, which spans over 7 counties. Columbus is home to many leading companies in the insurance, technology and retail sectors, and the city’s economy has been frequently ranked among the strongest in the nation. There is plenty of educational opportunities in Columbus—the Ohio State University has the second largest college campus in the U.S., and there is currently 18 other centers of higher education located in the city. And concerning recreation, Columbus is definitely not lacking; the city offers its residents an exciting assortment of museums and cultural attractions, art exhibits, music and theatre venues, and sporting events.

In light of its 200th anniversary that will take place in the year 2012, the city of Columbus is currently rolling out a series of initiatives that will help the city achieve its goals as the best place in the nation to live, work, and raise a family. One facet of the 2012 Project involves the beautification and revitalization of many downtown areas that will bring even more business and cultural energy into the city.
