Welcome to Columbus, Georgia.
Columbus is a city in Muscogee County, Georgia, United States. It is the primary city of the Columbus, Georgia Metropolitan Statistical Area, an MSA which encompasses all of Columbus, Georgia, Chattahoochee, Harris, Marion, and Muscogee counties, Georgia, and Russell County, Alabama, and which, along with the Auburn-Opelika, Alabama MSA and the Tuskegee, Alabama Micropolitan Statistical Area, comprise the greater Columbus-Auburn-Opelika, Georgia-Alabama Combined Statistical Area.
As of the 2000 census, the entire city-county population was 186,291 and 276,000 in the Georgia-Alabama metro area. The city is the county seat of Muscogee County, with which it is a consolidated city-county. Because of the consolidation, Columbus is listed with the same population and other demographic data as the entire county. Fort Benning takes up most of the rest of the county.

Columbus is home to many exciting cultural, artistic, and athletic venues. The Springer Opera House, state theatre of Georgia, the RiverCenter for the Performing Arts, the Bradley Theatre, Port Columbus Civil War Naval Museum, the Columbus Museum, and the Columbus Civic Center. Columbus is also the home of Historic Columbus Foundation's Riverfest Weekend, a major Georgia festival and a Top Twenty Event in the Southeast. Riverfest Weekend is always the last full weekend in April.
Located in the heart of historic uptown Columbus, RiverCenter for the Performing Arts is the centerpiece of the city's new arts and entertainment district. Conceived as a vital cultural hub, the center was designed by the multi-national architectural firm Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer and Associates to artistically enrich the Chattahoochee Valley region. RiverCenter's state-of-the-art facilities include the 2,000-seat Bill Heard Theatre, the center's main venue and home to the Columbus Symphony Orchestra. Featuring orchestra, mezzanine and balcony seating, the hall is designed to meet the complex technical needs of attractions such as Broadway shows, symphonic concerts, dance performances, pop concerts, lectures and conferences. From the ceiling large interwoven ribbons of steel mesh contribute a sense of intimacy, while shaped balcony fascias and custom light fixtures provide color, texture and warmth.
The Columbus Museum is particularly known for its concentration on American art and the history of the region. Visitors can trace the development of the Chattahoochee Valley area in Chattahoochee Legacy, a regional history gallery with its own award-winning film.
