Columbus, County seat in Indiana, United States.
The city stands on the East Fork of the White River, featuring numerous modernist buildings commissioned by local businesses and civic organizations throughout its streets.
Originally named Tiptona after General John Tipton in 1820, the settlement changed its name to Columbus in 1821 and received its first railroad connection in 1844.
Seven National Historic Landmark buildings define the architectural landscape of Columbus, including works by architects Eero Saarinen and I.M. Pei.
The ColumBUS transit system connects different areas of the city through multiple routes, while Interstate 65 and US Route 31 provide regional access.
The Crump Theatre, constructed in 1889, maintains its position as Indiana's oldest theater and forms part of the Columbus Historic District.
