| About
Columbus OH |
Named in honor of Christopher
Columbus, the capital city was founded in February, 1812, on the High Banks opposite
Franklinton at the Forks of the Scioto known as Wolf's Ridge.
The National Road reached Columbus from Baltimore in 1831, which complemented
the city's new link to the Ohio and Erie Canal and facilitated a population boom.
By the end of the 19th century, Columbus saw the rise of several major manufacturing
businesses.
The city became known as the "Buggy Capital of the World," thanks to
the presence of some two dozen buggy factories, notably the Columbus Buggy Company,
which was founded in 1875 by Harvey Firestone.
The Columbus Consolidated Brewing Company also rose to prominence during this
time, and it may have achieved even greater success were it not for the influence
of the Anti-Saloon League. |
With the strength of the post-WWI
economy, a construction boom occurred in the 1920s, resulting in a new Civic Center,
the Ohio Theatre, the American Insurance Union Citadel, and to the north, a massive
new Ohio Stadium.
World War II brought a tremendous number of new jobs to the city, and with it
another population surge.
Today Columbus is the headquarters for a number of businesses with many companies
having a major presence in the Columbus area.
Columbus also hosts many conventions in the Greater Columbus Convention Center.
Columbus is the home of The Ohio State University, which is currently the largest
single campus in the United States.
