ABOUT COLUMBUS, NEBRASKA

Columbus, Nebraska, is the heart of the Midwest. It sits at the confluence of the Loup and Platte Rivers, which provides a bounty of wildlife viewing, kayaking, hunting, and fishing opportunities, as well as beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Columbus has a population of 22,000 and is one of Nebraska’s most progressive and dynamic communities. It offers a fair tax structure, strong educational systems, excellent child care, several golf courses, a variety of rich cultural events and exciting recreational opportunities. We are blessed with clean air, safe neighborhoods, no traffic jams and plenty of sunshine. Columbus is only 80 miles from Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska, so the benefits of big-city entertainment, major airports and a key Big Ten conference university (University of Nebraska-Lincoln) are just a short drive away.
