Phenix City

城市概覽

Columbus is a great example of a true river city, once a major center for textile manufacturing. Founded in 1828, Columbus is also known for being the site of the last battle of the Civil War, where Columbus ranked second to Richmond in the manufacture of supplies for the Confederate army. Columbus was also one of the most important industrial centers of the south in the early 1900s. Its historic elements remain while it possesses all the aspects of a modern city. Its small town feel is still kept intact despite being Georgia's third largest city with a population of 195,000 (2018).

Columbus has a humid subtropical climate. Daytime summer temperatures often reach highs in the mid-90°Fs. Average heat indices are around 97 °F (36 °C) and 74 °F (23 °C) at night during the summer months, though a sweltering summer day with high heat and humidity can send heat indices upwards to 109 °F (43 °C), with overnight lows not going below 78 °F (26 °C).
