Incorporated in 1812, Columbus used to be dense forestland that was commonly used for hunting. When the National Road reached the city in 1831, it allowed many European immigrants to come to the city, increasing the population and bringing economic prosperity to the city. With so many immigrants, the city was divided into two ethnic enclaves, with the Germans in the southern part of the town and the Irish to the north. In 1850 the first railroad to enter Columbus, the Columbus and Xenia Railroad, greatly increased the traffic in the area and boosted the economy. The Civil War and World War I also served to greatly increase the economy.
