Columbus, Georgia is a large city, situated in the western part of the state along the Alabama border, approximately 2 hours south of Atlanta. Columbus has a population of approximately 186,000 and is the primary city in its metropolitan area.
Located in Muscogee County, it was once the site of a Creek Indian Village. Since its origins as a modern community, the city has been a planned development from its initial settlement along the Chattahoochee River.
One of the most decisive factors in the city's economic and cultural development has been its proximity to the large military installation of Fort Benning, which borders the city along the south and southeast.
