History Of Columbus
Columbus was founded in 1828. The city's importance increased in the 1850s with the arrival of the railroad. The Chattahoochee's waterpower made Columbus a manufacturing center. The river powered gristmills and sawmills as early as 1828 and a textile mill north of town by 1838. During the Civil War, the industries of Columbus supplied the Confederate army with textiles, ironworks and swords. The Battle of Columbus, April 16, 1865, is widely regarded to be the last battle of the American Civil War. Columbus was one of the most important industrial centers of the south in the early 1900s. In 1919, Ernest Woodruff, a Columbus native, purchased Coca-Cola from the Candler family for $25 million.
