Columbia is an amazing place to live! This area was once roamed by Osage and Missouri Indians. The Lewis and Clark Expedition passed within a few miles of the area on the Missouri River 1803. The Booneslick Trail traveled from Kentucky to St. Charles, Missouri and on through this region. In 1818, the Smithton Land Company purchased more than 2,000 acres and established the village of Smithton about 1 mile northwest of the current site of the Katy Station Depot (4th & Broadway.) Due to lack of adequate water, in 1821, the settlement moved across the Flat Branch and established Columbia in what is now the downtown district. In the 1850’s Columbia benefited from trade generated by the Santa Fe and Oregon Trails. Today Columbia is a thriving community and one of the best places in America to live!
