History

Founded in 1828 by an act of the Georgia Legislature, Columbus was situated at the end of the navigable portion of the Chattahoochee River and on the last stretch of the Federal Road before entering Alabama. The Chattahoochee River runs from the Chattahoochee Spring in the Appalachian Mountains of northeastern Georgia, near the Carolinas to the southwestward The Federal Road was a project that started in 1805 when the Creek Indians gave a permission for the development of a "horse path" through their nation for Alabama (formally the State of Alabama;) is a State located in the southern region of the United States of America. The city was named for Christopher Columbus, its founders likely influenced by the writings of Washington Irving. Christopher Columbus (1451 &ndash May 20 1506 was an Italian Navigator, colonizer Washington Irving (April 3 1783 – November 28 1859 was an American Author, essayist, biographer and historian of the early 19th The plan for the city was drawn up by Dr. Edwin L. DeGraffenried who placed the town on a bluff overlooking the river. Across the river, where Phenix City, Alabama is now located, Creek Indians lived until their removal in 1836. Phenix City is a city in Lee County and Russell County in the U Indian Removal was a nineteenth century policy of the government of the United States to ethnically cleanse Native American tribes living east of the Mississippi

Commerce is a division of trade or production which deals with the exchange of goods and services from producer to final consumer In addition, textile mills began springing up along the river, bringing industry to an area reliant upon agriculture. A textile is a flexible material comprised of a network of natural or artificial Fibres often referred to as thread or Yarn. For other uses of this term see Industry (disambiguation An industry (from Latin industrius, "diligent industrious" Agriculture refers to the production of goods through the growing of plants and fungi and the raising of domesticated Animals The study of agriculture By 1860, the city was one of the more important industrial centers of the South, earning it the nickname "the Lowell of the South," in deference to the industrial town in Massachusetts. Lowell is a city in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA. As of the 2000 census the city had a total population of 105167

Reconstruction began almost immediately and prosperity followed. The industrialization of the town led to rapid growth; the city had outgrown its original plan. Columbus was graced with the Springer Opera House on 10th Street, which has hosted over a century of great performers and still delights audiences today. The Springer Opera House is a historic live performance theater located in downtown Columbus Georgia.

During the 1970s and 1980s, urban blight, flight, and prostitution were serious problems in much of downtown Columbus and adjacent neighborhoods. Early efforts to halt the gradual deterioration of downtown included designation of various historic districts in and around downtown, demolition of large tracts of blighted areas, and construction of the Government Center. A significant period of urban renewal and revitalization occurred in the mid to late 1990s. With these improvements, residents and businesses began moving back to these formerly blighted areas. Examples of these municipal projects including the construction of a softball commons for the 1996 Olympic Games, construction of a riverwalk park on the Chattahoochee River, construction of the National Civil War Naval Museum at Port Columbus, the expansion of the Columbus Museum, and road improvements to include a new downtown bridge crossing the Chattahoochee River to Phenix City, Alabama. The Olympic Games is an international Multi-sport event established for both summer and winter games The National Civil War Naval Museum at Port Columbus, located in Columbus Georgia, is a facility that features two original American Civil War military vessels During the late 1990s and early 2000s, commercial activity expanded north of downtown along the interstate corridor. During the next several years, the expansion will continue starting with the growth at Fort Benning. Over the next several years more than 15,000 new troops will move to the Chattahoochee Valley.
