	Columbia, California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Columbia is a former California Gold Rush boom town that lives on as a state-preserved historic park and a National Historic Landmark that preserves the original, gold-rush-town flavor of the town, once dubbed the "Gem of the Southern Mines." Founded in 1850 by Mexican gold miners, it is located in Tuolumne County, California.
		The Columbia school house was built in 1860, renovated in 1872, and finally closed in 1937.
		In 1947, it was purchased by the state of California for $1 and incorporated into the state-historic park.

		The first flight of Columbia (STS-1) was commanded by John Young (a space veteran from the Gemini and Apollo eras) and piloted by Robert Crippen, a rookie who had never been in space before, but who served as a support crew member for the Skylab missions and Apollo-Soyuz.
		In an episode of Cowboy Bebop, space shuttle Columbia was used to rescue a character from a disabled space vehicle in a decaying orbit abround Earth.
