Columbia History Highlights on the sidewalk
The text of the article reads:
"Archaeological digs in Columbia have unearthed Native American artifacts that date back thousands of years. Tribes such as the Shawanese and the Susquehannocks inhabited the area. Numerous locations including the Susquehanna River, still bear their tribal names.
European influence arrived in the area in the 1720s when Robert Barber, John Wright, and Samuel Blunston settled in Shawannah, a Native American town. Founding families had close ties to William Penn and Benjamin Franklin. 14 SUSQUEHANNA RIVER TOWNS
By 1730, the area was renamed Wright's Ferry after John Wright's lucrative Ferrying business. Columbia became known as the Gateway to the West due to this access to the western banks of the Susquehanna.
A land lottery was set up in 1788 to establish the town of Columbia, which was named in honor of Christopher Columbus. The town came only a few votes short of being named the capital for the new nation of the United States of America.
Canals helped the area prosper as a trade center. Railroads provided transportation for goods purchased in Columbia's tanneries, foundries, and numerous mills."

Todd Stahl took these photos of the bridge plaza. He comments:
"The Columbia Bridge Plaza is looking fresh! The entire Plaza is weed/grass free on all the sidewalks including all military bricks.
If you had seen my pictures of this area last week there should have been several “quick tickets” issued (just kidding). Seriously it looked bad, a disgrace and ashamed!
The Columbia Borough Public Works, Carson Stahl and I tackled this project just in time for July 4th. 🇺🇸 it looks fantastic. Grass was mowed twice and bagged, all sidewalks and bricks and the perimeter of the north and south plazas were sprayed. Good bye weeds! Entire area was blowed and swept. Stop by and look around at our friends and family members who served.
Carson and I will assisting with mowing the grass and keeping this area weeded. Volunteer time for Carson and I. Wishing all a Happy July 4th Weekend! 🎇"

[LNP | LancasterOnline] Former treasurer sentenced to probation for stealing over $180,000 from Columbia Boys Athletic Association
NATHAN WILLISON | LNP Staff Writer
The former treasurer of the Columbia Boys Athletic Association was sentenced to three years of probation for stealing over $180,000 from the organization over a period of three years.
Kimberly Clark, 48, of Columbia pleaded guilty to theft by unlawful taking — a third-degree felony — Tuesday before Judge Thomas Sponaugle.
Columbia Borough police charged Clark in May 2024 with stealing over $184,251 from the nonprofit. According to charging documents, between 2020 to 2023, Clark wrote checks to herself or made them payable to cash. Police said the thefts were made to cover gambling debts.
Clark admitted to the thefts in January 2024 and said she would take full responsibility, police reported.
In court on Tuesday, defense attorney Michael Winters told the court his client had already paid restitution to Columbia Boys Athletic Association.
In a statement sent to LNP | LancasterOnline, the Columbia Boys Athletic Association board confirmed the organization had received restitution but were ultimately disappointed by the outcome of the criminal investigation.
"Due to Ms. Clark's responsibility for record-keeping during the period of theft, the current board was unable to prove the full extent of the stolen funds," the board wrote in its statement. "Despite this, the CBAA's current board of directors accepts the results of the investigation and has implemented measures to prevent future occurrences."
