A sense of place
A town with
a story
Founded in 1839 as Columbia, the town became Columbia City in 1854. The arrival of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago Railway in 1856 helped shape its growth as a center for commerce and industry.
The courthouse square and historic buildings keep that story visible today. The former home of U.S. Vice President Thomas R. Marshall now houses the Whitley County Historical Museum.
