Facts about the city

  • Some of the notable people born here have been: Dean Young (poet and author), and Suzanne Westenhoefer (actor and stand-up comedian).

Columbia, formerly Wright's Ferry, is a borough in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, 28 miles (45 km) southeast of Harrisburg on the left (east) bank of the Susquehanna River, across from Wrightsville and York County and just south of U.S. Route 30. The settlement was founded in 1726 by Colonial English Quakers from Chester County led by entrepreneur and evangelist John Wright. Establishment of the eponymous Wright's Ferry, the first commercial Susquehanna crossing in the region, inflamed territorial conflict with neighboring Maryland but brought growth and prosperity to the small town, which was briefly considered as a candidate for the new United States' capital. Though besieged for a short while by Civil War destruction, Columbia remained a lively center of transport and industry throughout the 19th century, once serving as a terminus of the Pennsylvania Canal. Later, however, the Great Depression and 20th-century changes in economy and technology sent the borough into decline. It is notable today as the site of one of the world's few museums devoted entirely to horology.

History

Columbia is a borough in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania County, Pennsylvania, 28 miles (45 km) southeast of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on the Susquehanna River across from Wrightsville, Pennsylvania Originally, the place was called "Wright's Ferry." It was founded in 1726 by English Religious Society of Friends from Chester County, Pennsylvania County. Smith estimated their numbers to be about 2,000 at the time. Smith’s Algonquin interpreter first used the term, which means “People at the Falls” or “People of the Muddy River.” The Susquehannocks established villages just south of Columbia in what is now known as Washington Boro, as well as points as far south as modern day Maryland. Population counts were these: in 1890, 10,199; in 1900, 12,316; in 1910, 11,454; in 1920, 10,836; and in 1940, 11,547. The word Susquehannock derives from “Sasquesahanough,” and was used to describe the tribe by Captain John Smith.
