Columbus - “The Arch City”

“Every ship that comes to America got its chart from Columbus.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Despite its nickname as the “Arch City,” given to Columbus for the numerous metal arches that once spanned High Street, Ohio’s capital city was named for Explorer Christopher Columbus. Columbus is one of the fastest growing cities in the Midwest and prides itself on having the best economy in Ohio, also ranking in the top 10 economies in the United States. Columbus’ economic success is attributed to its diverse business lines such as the retail, insurance and healthcare industries running throughout the city. Businesses headquartered in Columbus include Limited Brands, Abercrombie & Fitch, Nationwide Insurance, Cardinal Health and the Ohio State Medical Center.

Also at the center of Columbus’ economy is education. The Ohio State University, the largest college campus in the United States, is located in the heart of Columbus. Among Ohio State’s recognition for its business and medical schools, Ohio State is also known for its athletics. Columbus thrives on Ohio State’s 36 varsity sports teams, especially Buckeye football. Columbus also has an NHL team, the Columbus Blue Jackets, and a professional soccer team, the Columbus Crew. Columbus Crew Stadium was the first soccer-specific stadium built in the United States.

Columbus also has a strong arts following in the area: art museums include the Columbus Museum of Art and the Wexner Center for the Arts, and performance institutions include Opera Columbus and the Columbus Symphony Orchestra. Columbus has also been deemed a great “Garden City,” with more than 60 community gardens in the area, including the world-renowned Columbus Zoo & Aquarium directed by famed Animal Expert and Zookeeper Jack Hanna.
