Founded in 1828 as a planned city by the Georgia Legislature; Columbus prospered due to its location on the Chattahoochee River. Industry sprang up along the shores of the Chattahoochee and shaped Columbusrsquo;s identity as one of Georgiarsquo;s premier cities. Today a thriving metropolis; it is the Columbus of yesteryear that is illuminated within these pages. Early postcard views reflect the city from around 1905 to 1942; showcasing many of its businesses; neighborhoods; and parks. Included are places virtually unknown to citizens todaymdash;the Bell Tower; the City Market; North Highlands Park; and Wildwood Parkmdash;as well as those that were landmarks a century ago and landmarks still: the Iron Bank; the Springer Opera House; the Union Depot; the YMCA; and Fort Benning.
