Fun Facts about Columbus

Whether you’re new to town or heading off for new adventures, it’s good to know a little about the history of your city. Here are a few fun facts about Columbus:

  • The city was founded in February 1812 and was named in honor of Christopher Columbus, the Italian explorer who discovered the Americas.
  • Abraham Lincoln, on a visit to the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus, learned he was to become president of the United States after election results became certified. Lincoln’s connection to Ohio is important, as it was here he also delivered remarks on the abolition of slavery, and his body briefly lay in state and the Statehouse for observance after his assassination.
