Columbia County is situated in the eastern part of New York State, on the Hudson River's east bank, covering approximately 648 square miles. Established in 1786, the county was named after Christopher Columbus, the famed explorer who symbolized the New World's discovery. Columbia County was created by partitioning Albany and what was later known as Dutchess County, two of New York's original twelve counties.

The earliest settlers in the region belonged to several Native American tribes, including Mohican, Mohawk, and Algonquin. The county's rich history is a blend of influences from various European communities, including the Dutch and the British, who began settling in the area starting in the early 17th century. Many pivotal events during the American Revolution occurred in Columbia County, such as the Sons of Liberty's formation, which included prominent local politicians and militia leaders who played vital roles in the nation's fights for independence.

The area grew steadily during the 19th century, supported by the agricultural and manufacturing industries. Columbia County is known for its picturesque landscapes, stately houses, farming culture, and thriving artistic community. In recent years, the county has evolved into a popular tourist destination, offering visitors historical sites, beautiful countryside charm, and excellent wineries.

Fun Fact: Columbia County is known for its charming towns like Hudson, where there's a diverse art scene, antique shops, and a beautiful waterfront on the Hudson River. The town's vibrant community of artists and antique enthusiasts has helped revitalize the town and transformed it into a hotbed for art, design, and creativity.
