 T. E. F. L. Columbus, OH Ohio's state capital was founded in 1812 and named in honor of the explorer Christopher Columbus. With one of the largest universities in the country, Columbus is known as a center of education and Ohio State University's programs are regularly ranked as some of the best in the country. The city also regularly tops polls for quality of life due to its low crime rate, strong and diverse economy and high quality infrastructure and public amenities. Since its founding 200 years ago, Columbus has grown to become the largest city in the state and a thriving center of education, business, science and technology.
