About Columbia, South Carolina
Columbia is the capital of South Carolina and the seat of Richland County, a city of 136,632 people at the fall line, where the Broad and Saluda rivers meet to form the Congaree. After the Revolution, state leaders wanted a capital nearer the middle of the state than Charleston. On March 22, 1786, the General Assembly passed a bill from State Senator John Lewis Gervais that put the new capital on Taylor's Hill.
Surveyor John Guignard planned the city as a grid two miles on each side, with 400 blocks. Assembly and Senate streets were 150 feet wide, and the rest were 100 feet. Half-acre lots were sold to new residents, while the best sites were held for public buildings such as the State House. Lawmakers first met there in 1790. Columbia became a town in 1805, with John Taylor as its first intendant, and a city in 1854.
- The fire of February 1865General William T. Sherman's Union Army took Columbia on February 17, 1865, and fire destroyed much of the city over that night and the next day. Modern historians say Sherman did not order the burning. During Reconstruction the city rebuilt its business district and repaired its railroads.
- Secession began hereThe first Southern secession convention gathered at First Baptist Church on December 17, 1860. An outbreak of smallpox sent the delegates to Charleston, and there South Carolina became the first state to leave the Union on December 20. The church is now on the National Register.
- An electric mill in 1894Columbia Mills opened in 1894 as the first textile mill in the world to run on electricity. Columbia grew into a major textile city, and the old mill later became home to the South Carolina State Museum. The Columbia Mills Building is on the National Register.
- A college since 1801The school that grew into the University of South Carolina opened in 1801 as South Carolina College. The state hoped it would draw the Upcountry and Lowcountry closer after the Revolution. During the Civil War, almost all of its students joined the Confederate Army, and its grounds became a military hospital.
- Camp Jackson in 1917The U.S. Army opened Camp Jackson here in 1917 to train soldiers for World War I. It came back as Fort Jackson in 1940, and today it is the Army's largest basic combat training post. During World War II, the men of Jimmy Doolittle's raid prepared for their mission at the field that is now Columbia Metropolitan Airport.
