Columbia ...
The first city, as well as the first-planned capital, in America named for
Christopher Columbus was founded March 26, 1786, as the center of government,
education, and commerce in the Palmetto State. Today, the Columbia Metropolitan Area
is home to over 200 years of history,
beautiful Lake Murray, the University of South Carolina,
the Army's largest training base at
Fort Jackson, numerous festivals and recreational
opportunities. The Greater Columbia area is a great place to
live,
work, raise a family and for those
golden retirement years!

Columbia was recently named one of "America's Most Livable Communities" by the Partners for Livable Communities organization. Also, a TAX FOUNDATION study found that South Carolina has the 6th lowest median home property taxes.
