Welcome to Columbus,
Georgia! This is our website, on which you will discover many
of the features of this community that make us proud. Please browse
these home pages so that we can get acquainted. We have an
abundance of information to help you explore Columbus, and if you
would like further information we’ll be happy to supply it.
We are Georgia’s first
consolidated government, and we are proud to serve as a model for
other local governments across the nation. The City of Columbus
merged with Muscogee County in 1971, creating a streamlined system
that provides a very high level of citizen services at a very low
per capita cost.
Columbus is visitor and
business friendly. We are in a period of unprecedented building and
development, which is bringing our quality of life to new highs.
The U.S. Army’s Fort
Benning, just south of the city, is the world’s largest and best
Infantry center and is a very important part of metro Columbus. Phenix City, Alabama is just across the Chattahoochee River. Our
tri-community, with its wonderful people and great climate, is
simply one of the best places on earth—cosmopolitan but always
neighborly.
The Chattahoochee, part
of the nation’s Inland Waterway, is navigable to the Gulf of Mexico
and the seven seas. Attractions in Columbus include the
Chattahoochee Riverwalk, RiverCenter for the Performing Arts,
Springer Opera House (Georgia’s State Theater), Coca-Cola Space
Science Center, Columbus Civic Center, our South Commons Softball
Complex including a world-class softball stadium, Columbus Georgia
Convention & Trade Center and much, much more. I sincerely hope
that after you have explored our home pages you will come to
Columbus, Georgia and see for yourself!
