Looking for a great place to live? The city of Columbus is right on the Chattahoochee River in Georgia and offers plenty of opportunities for its residents to live, work, and play! From historic neighborhoods and nationally-recognized companies to entertainment for young adults, families, and retirees, “The Fountain City” has something for everybody. Here are 12 things to know about living in Columbus.<\/p>\n

1. A RICH SOUTHERN HISTORY.<\/h2>\n

Columbus\u2019s history goes back to 1828, when the city was founded as a connection point for the cotton industry along the Chattahoochee. After the arrival of the railroad and textile industries in the 1850s, Columbus became a major hub in the South, earning the nickname “the Lowell of the South” (after the Massachusetts industrial city that’s also on a river). Much of this\u00a0history can still be seen in the buildings and roads of the city’s eight historic districts: Bibb City Historic, Columbus Historic, Columbus Historic Riverfront Industrial, Dinglewood, Peacock Woods-Dimon Circle Historic, Weracoba-St. Elmo Historic, Wynn\u2019s Hill-Overlook-Oak Circle Historic, and Wynnton Village Historic.<\/p>\n

2. UPTOWN FUNK YOU UP.<\/h2>\n

You may get the terms “Downtown” and “Uptown” confused with Columbus, and that\u2019s because Downtown Columbus is Uptown Columbus to its residents. Locals often “go down” to Uptown for free concerts, shows, and festivals. While you\u2019re there, be sure to check out Minnie\u2019s Uptown Restaurant, a cafeteria-style southern food joint. You have to try Minnie\u2019s fried chicken, as well as the\u00a0sweet potatoes and corn muffins. And\u00a0if\u00a0you\u2019re a vegetarian, Minnie\u2019s cooks all of its vegetables separate from its meat, so you can still enjoy this must-have Columbus experience!<\/p>\n

3. FORT BENNING.<\/h2>\n

Just outside of Columbus sits Fort Benning, one of the largest U.S. military installations in the world<\/a> and largest employer in Columbus\u00a0(providing roughly 40,000 jobs). Established in 1918 to provide basic training to World War I units, this 182,000-acre base is home to more than 107,000 individuals and has the ability to deploy combat-ready troops at the drop of a hat. Fort Benning also hosts the United States Army Armor School, which trains soldiers in strategies and tactics using armored equipment, such as battle tanks.<\/p>\n

Military personnel often use self storage while stationed in Columbus, GA. Learn about the benefits of Military Storage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. WHAT’S THE NAME OF THAT INSURANCE?<\/h2>\n
\"Aflac

Have you ever heard of the American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus? Perhaps you know it better as the insurance-industry giant Aflac. Fortune Magazine<\/em> ranked Aflac as one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For in America in 2014, and it’s been listed there for 16 consecutive years. Aflac employs around 4,750 people inside the United States, the majority of which work in Columbus. In addition to being one of the largest employers in the area, it\u2019s also been recognized by Black Enterprise Magazine<\/em> as one of the 40 Best Companies for Diversity<\/a> for the ninth time.<\/p>\n

5. GET YOUR COLLEGE ON.<\/h2>\n

Columbus State University<\/a> has risen from a humble beginning to gaining national recognition for its programs. Originally founded as Columbus College in 1958 after nearly a decade of fundraising by local residents, the first 15 faculty members and 300 students met at the renovated Shannon Hosiery Mill. Now known as Columbus State University, the college has since relocated and enrolls more than 8,200 students. While the school offers 46 undergraduate and 42 graduate degree programs, it was recognized by U.S. News & World Report in 2014 for having best online programs in graduate business and education.<\/p>\n

6. THE HOME OF COCA-COLA.<\/h2>\n
\"Coke

Despite claims of Atlanta being the original Coca-Cola town, Colonel John Pemberton actually created his prototype for Coke in Eagle Drug and Chemical House, a drugstore in Columbus. While he began working on the formula in the 1860s, he registered his French Wine Coca in 1885 as an alcoholic tonic for the nerves. Of course, it eventually became the non-alcoholic cola enjoyed my millions today. Because the city\u00a0has ties to Coca-Cola history, be sure to refer to soda (or pop, depending on where you previously lived) as “coke.” And don’t be surprised if a local asks what kind of coke you want!<\/p>\n

7. ENJOY FOUNTAIN CITY COFFEE.<\/h2>\n

Though Columbus earned the nickname of Fountain City for its many fountains, there’s only one Fountain City Coffee<\/a>. On the corner of Broadway and 10th in Uptown, locals love this hometown coffee shop where fresh coffee beans are imported from around the world. Regulars appreciate it for its strong\u2014not too<\/em> strong\u2014cup of joe, as well as its quirky atmosphere. Whether you\u2019re looking for a place to meet with a friend or two or just sit with a good book and read, Fountain City Coffee is where you’ll want to be.<\/p>\n

8. GET OUT OF TOWN TO VISIT HUNTER’S.<\/h2>\n

One of Columbus\u2019s best kept secrets is actually 30 minutes north of the city up I-185 in Hamilton, known as Hunter’s Pub. Don\u2019t look for a sign\u2014you\u2019ll recognize it as the small building surrounded by cars. People say Hunter’s Pub has the best steak around, but there’s also amazing mashed potatoes and sweet potato fries. Don’t forget to\u00a0order Fried Lobster Tail as an appetizer! It’s part of the experience.<\/p>\n

9. LIFE ON THE CHATTAHOOCHEE.<\/h2>\n
\"Chattahoochee

The lifeblood of Columbus flows in the Chattahoochee River, and residents just can\u2019t get enough of that water.\u00a0Head\u00a0out to the 22-mile Chattahoochee RiverWalk, which starts at Lake Oliver in North Columbus and ends at Fort Benning. For those who enjoy actually getting in the water, Columbus boasts the largest urban whitewater rafting course<\/a> in the world. You can also check out Uptown\u2019s Dragon Boat Festival<\/a> in early May, where locals team up to compete in a fun and festive race!<\/p>\n

10. MUSEUMS GALORE.<\/h2>\n
\"Columbus

Columbus is home to many museums that\u00a0celebrate the history of the city and the country. History buffs can enjoy a day at the National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0check out Civil War reenactments. Another interesting museum is the\u00a0National Civil War Naval Museum<\/a>, which\u00a0includes the largest surviving Confederate warship: the CSS Jackson. For parents whose children enjoy a more hands-on experience, there’s the Coca-Cola Space Science Center<\/a>. Located on and operated by Columbus State University, the center provides a number of interactive exhibits, simulators, and presentations for all ages.<\/p>\n

11. EXPLORE LOCAL HAUNTS.<\/h2>\n
\"Springer

Because Columbus is\u00a0historic, you\u2019re bound to encounter a ghost or two. Such is the case with the Springer Opera House<\/a>. Though the opera house now hosts Broadway shows and the Springer Theatre Academy, it’s rumored to be haunted due to its history, which goes back to the 1870s. The ghost of legendary performer Edwin Booth\u2014brother to presidential assassin John Wilkes Booth\u2014is known to play pranks on female members of casts and crews, especially in wardrobe and props rooms. For a more frightful experience, however, visit Crybaby Bridge on Whitesville Road. Legend has it that a World War II widow went mad and murdered her own children, dropping them off on the bridge. If you’re brave, you can stand on the bridge to feel an eerie presence\u00a0or put\u00a0baby powder on your car’s hood to see little footprints.<\/p>\n

12. COLUMBUS COTTONMOUTHS.<\/h2>\n

A hockey team that\u2019s been around since 1996, the Snakes (a.k.a. Columbus Cottonmouths) call the Columbus Civic Center their home. Originally in the Central Hockey League as an expansion team, the Cottonmouths have consistently finished among the top teams, winning the President\u2019s Cup twice in the South Professional Hockey League since joining in 2004.<\/p>\n

Is there anything we\u2019ve missed? Be sure to tell us what you think makes Columbus a great place to live!<\/p>\n
