From Wikipedia:
Columbus is a consolidated city-county located on the west-central border of the U.S. state of Georgia. Columbus lies on the Chattahoochee River directly across from Phenix City, Alabama. It is the county seat of Muscogee County, with which it officially merged in 1970. Columbus is the third-largest city in Georgia and fields the fourth-largest metropolitan area. According to the 2019 estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, Columbus has a population of 195,769 residents, with 321,048 in the Columbus metropolitan area. The metro area joins the nearby Alabama cities of Auburn and Opelika to form the Columbus-Auburn-Opelika Combined Statistical Area, which has a 2019 estimated population of 485,590.
Columbus lies 100 miles (160 km) southwest of Atlanta. Fort Benning, the United States Army's Maneuver Center of Excellence and a major employer, is located south of the city in southern Muscogee and Chattahoochee counties. Columbus is home to museums and tourism sites, including the National Infantry Museum, dedicated to the United States Army's Infantry Branch. It has the longest urban whitewater rafting course in the world constructed on the Chattahoochee River.
With the expansion of the city, leaders established a university, founded Columbus College, a two-year institution, which later was developed as Columbus State University, now a comprehensive center of higher learning.
The city government became consolidated with the county in 1971, the first of its kind in Georgia (and one of only 16 in the U.S. at the time).
A pamphlet describin the history of Columbus and emphsizing Columbus's power and influence.
Columbus, Georgia: the Place with the Power and the Push
Expanding on its industrial base of textile mills, the city is the home of the headquarters for Aflac, Synovus, and TSYS.
The Muscogee County Courthouse in 1941, which was demolished in 1973.
During the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, the subsidized construction of highways and suburbs resulted in drawing off the middle and upper classes, with urban blight, white flight, and prostitution in much of downtown Columbus and adjacent neighborhoods. Early efforts to halt the gradual deterioration of downtown began with the saving and restoration of the Springer Opera House in 1965. It was designated as the State Theatre of Georgia, helping spark a historic preservation movement in the city. This has documented and preserved various historic districts in and around downtown.
Through the late 1960s and early 1970s, large residential neighborhoods were built to accommodate the soldiers coming back from the Vietnam War and for those associated with Ft. Benning. These range from Wesley Woods to Leesburg to Brittney and Willowbrook and the high-end Sears Woods and Windsor Park. Large tracts of blighted areas were cleaned up. A modern Columbus Consolidated Government Center was constructed in the city center. A significant period of urban renewal and revitalization followed in the mid- to late 1990s.
With these improvements, residents and businesses have been attracted to formerly blighted areas. Municipal projects have included construction of a softball complex, which hosted the 1996 Olympic softball competition; construction of the Chattahoochee RiverWalk; construction of the National Civil War Naval Museum at Port Columbus, construction of the Coca-Cola Space Science Center, the expansion of the Columbus Museum, and road improvements to include a new downtown bridge crossing the Chattahoochee River to Phenix City. During the late 1990s, commercial activity expanded north of downtown along the I-185 corridor.
Great video! I grew up in Columbus, GA and watching this video brought back many great memories! Thanks for sharing..
I'm from Fayetteville NC originally ,I lived in Columbus Georgia from 1985 to 1998
I have been curious about Columbus for years now. Hopefully I will be able to visit someday.
Love Columbus, especially the freedom you feel. Before we went to visit I watched this video and ordered pizza not knowing it was this video that I noticed the streets. “Your Pizza” Thanks Mike
🧐 yeah okay lol
More videos from Georgia please.Nice video Mike☀️
Thanks!
Omg Columba’s is so neat and tidy I should live there in the future
Don't move here, the crime rates are crazy.
We just missed you. We drove thru Columbus on the 30th
Moving to Columbus for college soon.
Run!
@@tearioniarose 😂😂😂
People acting fake in the comment section as if they don’t know Columbus Georgia for being that racist antebellum backwoods town outside of the military men that come and play sex tourism in okey-doke Ville USA.
@@archibaldwinterbottom6559 Most of the racism in Columbus come from the black folks. I lived on Cusseta Road until I got the hell away from there. If you black you can go and do much anything you want anywhere in Columbus but if you white they is some neighborhoods you ain't safe to even drive through. Say I'm lyin.
@@archibaldwinterbottom6559 nothing bad about it
I am from Columbus Georgia and I am really proud of my hometown
Home. I had a spot set up for a craft fair almost 8 years ago in downtown. I could never move back but this will forever be my life
Why wouldn’t you move back?
@@kingkol it's very boring and has little options for cuisine and culinary arts. Basically opportunities are lacking
@@silentj624 Oh, wow. That’s one of the reasons why I’m leaving Albany Georgia. Very boring place with no opportunities also, guess Atlanta might be the better option soon.
@@kingkol I moved just outside of the metro area 5 years ago. I like what's available but I don't like the people.
@@silentj624 Yes, that’s what I was originally thinking, I’d move to an area like Peachtree City or McDonough, it seems more peaceful in those areas, and laidback. But I’m definitely an introvert so I don’t talk to people much beyond the internet, I appreciate your feedback on what’s it like in those areas.
Columbus Georgia is very neat
It’s not neat anymore
I used to visit there sometimes
Nice video Georgia Mike enjoyed the driving alot man I nlsaw the 8 track crossing you went across that seems pretty dangerous for them to not have gates at a 8 track railroad crossing
Yeah I noticed. It might not be a busy intersection.
They run during the day time as well
Columbus ga looks like Augusta ga
Columbus looks decent
Hello, how are you
Do you live in this area?
It’s really not
It’s not, stay far away. Seriously
@@taylord7261 honestly why do you say that…I been thinking about moving but I don’t know anybody who lives in Georgia I just always loves the idea…how’s the schools and stuff
Very nice city
Lugar horrible
