Columbus is the capital and largest city of the U.S. state of Ohio. It is the 15th largest city in the United States. The land modern-day Columbus occupies was once called the Ohio Country, under the control of the French Empire through the Vice-royauté of New France. European traders flocked to the area, attracted by the fur trade.
