Columbus
Ohio's largest city
Columbus is the capital city of Ohio, and several other U.S. cities bear the name.
As a proper noun, it refers to Christopher Columbus, the Italian explorer whose 1492 voyage initiated sustained European contact with the Americas.
Columbus Day is a U.S. federal holiday in October, though increasingly renamed Indigenous Peoples' Day.
The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic fraternal organization.
