The former town of Columbia was a once bustling town. The area is near the confluence of the James and Rivanna rivers and was a major transportation hub with the railroad. Flooding over the years devastated the town including historic rainfalls in 1969, 1972 and 1985. In 2015 the town residents voted to revoke the charter. The General Assembly revoked the town's 1788 charter in 2016. Fluvanna County received a FEMA grant to remove structures in the flood zone. The County now owns those vacant lots. Inside the former town limits is the Shrine to St. Katharine Drexel at St. Joseph's Church.
