OVERVIEW
Located on the western edge of Georgia on the banks of the Chattahoochee River close to the border of Alabama, Columbus is rich in culture, history and heritage. It is also a city with a spirit of youthful vitality. Pictures taken on a vacation in Columbus will easily fill several albums, and each will be a souvenir to treasure.
Columbus is a port at the head of navigation on the Chattahoochee River, directly across the river from Phenix City, Alabama, to which it is connected by bridges. The city is a regional transportation, trade, cultural, and manufacturing hub. It has many textile, food-processing, and metalworking industries and a sizable credit card processing operation. Also important to the city's economy is adjacent Fort Benning, a large United States Army Infantry post.
Local points of interest include the Confederate Naval Museum, which features remains of two vessels from the American Civil War (1861-1865) recovered during the 1960s; the Columbus Museum; and the restored 1871 Springer Opera House. Heritage Corner, the city's 26 block historic district, includes several historically significant antebellum houses, including the home once occupied by Dr. John S. Pemberton, who produced the (still secret) formula for Coca-Cola syrup.
