The landscape around Columbus is defined by the Chattahoochee River and Georgia’s Fall Line, which have shaped both the urban form and local economy. Chartered in 1828, the city developed as a river port and textile-manufacturing centre, drawing power from the river’s rapids. Today, the Chattahoochee RiverWalk follows the waterfront, while the Springer Opera House, opened in 1871, remains a historic theatre venue. Columbus also borders Fort Moore, and the nearby National Infantry Museum documents the history of the US Army’s infantry.
