Located on the eastern shoreline of the Scuppernong River in northern Tyrrell County, Columbia was chartered in 1793 as Elizabethtown. The town became the Tyrrell County seat of government in 1799 and was renamed Columbia in 1801.
While settlers from Virginia streamed southward into the Albemarle region during the 18th century, development of Columbia and Tyrrell County proceeded slowly. Surrounding swamp forests, vast peat wetlands and pocosins restricted penetrations of the interior around the town. The area was one of the most isolated and sparsely settled parts of North Carolina well into the 20th century.

Primarily a fishing and trading center before the War Between the States, Columbia grew in the late 19th century as a result of the expanding lumber industry. Between 1880-90 the town grew from 166 to 382 residents. In 1908 the Norfolk and Southern Railway extended its track to Columbia, supplementing boat travel between the town and surrounding communities.

An annual festival known as “Columbia on the Scuppernong” provides small town fellowship, friendliness and fun to both residents and tourists. The second Saturday each October brings 8,000 to 10,000 to the downtown area for our annual Scuppernong River Festival. Local organizations, clubs, churches, businesses, and government agencies sponsor numerous activities throughout the year. The mild climate provides the perfect setting for enjoying the natural beauty along the pristine Scuppernong River. (https://www.townofcolumbianc.com/)
