The Founding and Development of Columbus, KS

Columbus is steeped in a rich history that began in 1868 when the first settlers arrived. Just a year later, in 1869, its first post office was established, marking the start of a prosperous community. Named by founder A.L. Peters after his own hometown of Columbus, Ohio, the city indirectly pays homage to the famed explorer Christopher Columbus. It quickly became a pivotal railroad junction, connecting the Saint Louis and San Francisco and the Missouri, Kansas, and Texas railroads, which were instrumental in its expansion and progress. The neighboring area was abundant in natural resources, including coal, lead, and zinc, which were extensively mined. These industries, along with agricultural trade, formed the backbone of the local economy. Columbus boasted a diverse industrial landscape, with machine shops, grain elevators, and flour mills. A cigar factory, bottle works for soft drinks, a canning factory, and a significant brick-making plant also contributed to the city's bustling business activities. In a notable chapter of the local history, 1887 saw the formation of the Long-Bell Lumber Company by Robert A. Long and Victor Bell. What started as a single lumberyard in Columbus expanded into one of the largest vertically integrated lumber companies in the United States. The company's success story continued until 1956 when it was purchased by International Paper. This rich industrial past, combined with its pivotal role in the rail network, makes Columbus, KS a city with a history as robust as the materials it once produced and traded.
