History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

Columbiana was laid out by Joshua Dixon and William Heald in 1805. The city takes its name from Columbiana County, which itself is named in honor of Christopher Columbus, combining his surname with the mass noun suffix -iana. Columbiana was incorporated as a village in 1837. When founded, the village had a north–central location in Columbiana County; however, the formation of Mahoning County in 1846 caused it to straddle the border between the two counties. The village officially became a city in 2000.
