Columbia, Virginia
Travel
Columbia, VA was once considered to be the capital of Virginia before Richmond was chosen. Before Virginia was settled, the town of Columbia was called Rassawek, the Native American word for "between two rivers" (the James and the Rivanna). Rassawek was once home to the largest Monacan Indian settlement.
Columbia is a rural town about 35-40 minutes from Short Pump and 35 minutes from Charlottesville. We highly recommend groups to rent Airbnbs together close to Columbia, either in Goochland or Fluvanna County. Ubers/Lyfts in the area may be limited.
