Columbia
Columbia, a town in Washington County, incorporated on February 8, 1796 from T12 and T13 SD, BPP townships. Initially endowed with a large double township area, between 1818 and 1881 it ceded land to Harrington (twice), Centerville, Columbia Falls, and Cherryfield. It also annexed Number 19 Plantation, then gave part back (1838, 1859) and obtained part of Jonesborough in 1840.
The northern portion of the town is a lowland area home to the Great Heath and the Pleasant River as it winds itself toward Columbia Falls.
U.S. Route 1 cuts the southeast corner of this small, but growing community bucking the trend of population loss in much of Washington County.
