The City of Columbia (population est. 38,224) is located approximately 45 miles south of Nashville in the heart of Maury County. Our city offers something for everyone, whether your interest is historical homes, sports, antiques, shopping, or mules. Did someone say mules?

That's right! A week in April is devoted entirely to the four-legged animal that played such an instrumental role in the settlement of our community. The annual Mule Day Parade attracts over two hundred thousand spectators from throughout the United States and abroad.

Columbia is also the ancestral home of the eleventh president of the United States, James K. Polk. The Polk home is located just two blocks from the center of town.

We hope you find our website helpful. If you need more information, please give us a call at (931) 560-1500, and our friendly staff will be happy to speak with you.
