Columbia is a city in and is actually the county seat of Richland County, South Carolina; it is also the state capital and the largest city in the state, with a population of over 118,000 residents. It is at the center of the continually-growing Columbia Metropolitan Statistical Area, which has an aggregate population of over 728,000 residents.

It was founded in 1786 and was named after Christopher Columbus, as many other cities were during the era. The city grew quickly, though population growth steadied and actually declined during the Civil War. The city was instrumental during the Civil War in shaping Confederate politics and contributed immensely to the war effort. After the war the city was decimated and took quite some time to recover, though today the city has become an economic and regional powerhouse thanks to many urban renewal projects.

The city is known for its hot, humid summers and mild, warmer winters. During the summer months typical highs top out around 88 degrees, with average overnight lows dropping into the low 70′s. During the winter, however, things cool down, with average highs hovering around 64 degrees and lows dropping down to around 40 degrees overnight.
