Columbia is located in the center of South Carolina at the junctions of Interstates 20, 26 and 77.
Columbia was settled by Europeans in the early 1700s and chosen to be the site of South Carolina's new state capital in 1786.
Columbia was named for Christopher Columbus, and it was South Carolina's first planned city (wide streets arranged in a grid pattern) and the second planned city in the United States (Savannah was the first).
Columbia's daily newspaper is 'The State' and its principal alternative newspaper is the "Free Times." Columbia is home to the headquarters and production facilities of ETV (and ETV Radio), the state's public television and public radio networks.
After remaining under the direct government of the legislature for the first two decades of its existence, Columbia was incorporated as a village in 1805 and then as a city in 1854.
Columbia is home to the main campus of the University of South Carolina.
Columbia Metropolitan Airport is located six miles southwest of Columbia's central business district and is also conveniently located near three interstate highways which run through Columbia -- I-20, I-26, and I-77.
The City of Columbia eventually constructed a terminal building at the Lexington County Airport and airline operations that had been ongoing at Owens Field shifted to the Lexington County Airport.
In the late 1950's, Columbia Mayor Lester Bates and others formed a study group to study how an Airport could be developed and administered to serve Richland County and Lexington County.
