Columbus,the capital city of Ohio,was founded on the east bank of the Scioto River in 1812. The city was founded as its capitol,beside the town of Franklinton,since incorporated into Columbus. The city's early history was gradual,as residents dealt with flooding and cholera epidemics,and the city had few direct connections to other cities. This led creation of a feeder canal,and later,freight and passenger railroads. The city became known for its industry and commercial businesses into the 20th century,though it experienced a lull in development in the late 20th century. In the 21st century,Columbus has been increasingly revitalized,led by parks projects,new developments,and efforts to beautify individual neighborhoods.
