Here Are Some Facts About Columbia

1. Columbia is named for Italian explorer Christopher Columbus. Columbia and Washington were the two names being considered, with Columbia winning out in the end.

2. Columbia's nickname is "Soda City." However, this has nothing to do with the sugary carbonated drink. Rather it derives from an old abbreviated version of Columbia, with locals calling it "Cola," and the nickname stuck.

3. The University of South Carolina, located in Columbia, has a bit of unique history. The South Carolinian Library, the library for the university built in 1840, is considered the first collegiate library in the country to be built as a freestanding building, and not attached to another building.
