A short history of Columbus
Built where the rivers meet.
Columbus was laid out in 1812 at the confluence of the Scioto and Olentangy Rivers and incorporated in 1816. Its role as Ohio’s capital helped shape the civic center that still anchors downtown today.
The Ohio Statehouse cornerstone was laid in 1839; legislators began meeting there in 1857, and the building was completed in 1861. Explore the city’s deeper stories through the Ohio Memory archive and the Columbus Historical Society.
