History

A post office called Columbia was established in 1894, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1920.^[3] The community was named after the song "Hail, Columbia."^[4]

In 1918 the History of Clark County said Columbia had a train station on the Omaha line, and that local sites included a school, a church, and a cheese factory.^[5]
