Columbus is less than 30 miles from Madison, Wisconsin, and is located on five major highway corridors: Highways 151, 73, 89, 16 and 60. The city has 5,000 residents and sits in the southeast corner of Columbia County. 

Our streets are lined with 20th century commercial and residential buildings, many faithfully restored. New homes and subdivisions have been carefully sited around the city and blend in well with the historic architecture.

Columbus just feels like home! Historic, beautiful downtown area, lots of parks & great schools too. Families love Columbus! 

 Businesses locate here because Columbus is easy to reach, has a skilled labor force, and is close to the major metropolitan areas of Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago and Minneapolis. Sun Prairie is really close so Costco & Palace Cinema are only about 15 minutes away too.

Columbus has so much to offer families & businesses! We have great schools, a hospital, active civic clubs, fishing, cycling, running, golf, swimming, kayaking are just a few of the attributes that attract newcomers to the area.
