About Columbus

Columbus is a city in Burke County, North Dakota, United States. The 2020 census counted 139 residents. Columbus was founded in 1906. Both this town and nearby Larson were named for an early postmaster who served the area, making it possibly the only town so named that was not named for Christopher Columbus. The through line in Columbus is the way its history and present-day settings remain visible on the same map. Columbus makes the most sense through those concrete details, with its history still visible in the settings people use today. Columbus is the only city in Short Creek Township, located to the southwest in Section 32.
