How Did Columbus Become the State Capitol?

Here in Central Ohio we are exceedingly proud of our growing city.  It was founded in 1812 and was not immediately chosen as the capitol of the Buckeye State.  For short periods of time in the early 19th century Zanesville and Chillicothe served as capital cities.  Today, Columbus is Ohio’s largest city with nearly 900,000 residents.

Did you know that we are the third most populated state capitol in the U.S. behind Phoenix and Austin?  Our city is the home of five of the Fortune 500 largest corporations in America.  We are also very proud of the fact that Business Week Magazine rated Columbus Ohio as one of the fifty best cities in the country!

For the last 20+ years yours truly Brent Staats has been a plumber and these days is the proud owner of Staats Plumbing.  We have dedicated ourselves to solving the plumbing and backflow problems of Columbus and the surrounding area.  We hope that you will not need our services during the holidays, but we are here if you do.  From my family to yours Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
