Information about Columbia
Why Columbia? South Carolina's state capital Colombia is a quiet place, with wide, shady streets lined with old-fashioned family-run department stores. The name Columbia is a poetic term used for the United States, originating from the name of Christopher Columbus and the University of South Carolina adds a youthful vibe with campus-side bars filled with college students celebrating both football and basketball wins.
