Columbus was founded in 1812, but city government has no home until moving atop Central Market from 1850 until first city hall building opened in 1872.
Being a created city does have more than a few disadvantages. Some of these issues for Columbus included the threat of fire, flood and attack by people who did not like the settlers all that much. Less harmful, but not the least of these problems, was finding a place for local government, such as it was, to take place.
The new town of Columbus, founded on February 14, 1812, soon found its growth impeded by the coming of the War of 1812. Despite the war, the proprietors of the new town soon saw the construction of a new state penitentiary where the Priscilla R. Tyson Cultural Arts Center is today at 139 W. Main St. Prisoners from the “pen” soon were helping local contractors build a new Statehouse, a state office building and a state Supreme Court building all on the southwest corner of Statehouse Square.
Through the next several years, progress was made and the town increased slowly in size. Then the Ohio Canal and the National Road arrived in 1831. In two years, Columbus saw its population grow from 2,000 to 5, 000 people.
