Columbia is a planned community made up of 10 small villages in Howard County, Maryland, and is also a Census designated place (CDP) that includes parts of several surrounding cities. Under the umbrella of the Columbia Association, each village is operated by its own community leaders. For the community’s well-organized design, great schools and abundance of recreational opportunities, Columbia consistently makes the top ten in Money Magazine’s annual list of the 100 “Best Places to Live” in the United States.

History

The land that would become Columbia was purchased under the direction of developer James Rouse during the first half of the 20th century. Rouse’s dream was to create a self-contained community that would avoid the uneven development prevalent in other areas of the country. The plan was revealed to county residents in 1963, zoning was approved for the project in 1965 and the community opened for business in 1967.
