CHAMBER OUR MISSION: To stimulate the local economy through business promotions and tourism and support of civic projects within the community…we continuously strive to be the principal advocate for members to create an environment favorable to businesses, jobs, and community growth and development. The Columbus Chamber of Commerce has played a vital role in the development of our local businesses and community since 1927. We are a member-driven organization that advocates for locally owned and small businesses who are the backbone of our economy. We support “Local First” for products and services because of every $100 spent in our locally owned small business $68 stays in the local economy. With facts showing that small businesses donate 250% more than large businesses to community causes, we encourage our communities to think “Local First.” (See: Fun Fact 1; Fun Fact-2). Workforce growth is a priority focus that includes bringing training to our youth and offering opportunities for upskilling and reskilling others. For our members we provide business-to-business (B2B) connecting opportunities, marketing options, education, leadership, community engagement, and expanding our tourism program. We are a growing and innovative chamber of commerce focused on our members’ success as we support the growth and development of a beautiful, historic, deeply rooted, and welcoming community in small town America. We look forward to meeting you! Peggy Harrison Chairman of the Columbus Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors

CHAMBER PROGRAMS & INITIATIVES

Networking Mixers offer a special opportunity for the sponsoring Chamber member to showcase their business, products, services, and facilities. Networking Mixers are held at member businesses throughout the year. These events are extremely popular and a great place to network and discover what the Columbus Chamber is all about. Lunch and Learns provide the opportunity for members to expand their skill set in varying areas that include quick books, marketing, management, social media to name a few covered this last year. They are designed to provide members with important information that strengthens their business and operations and to network with fellow members and businesses. The Annual Membership Meeting is held on the last Thursday of January at the Stafford Opera House. Along with a time of socializing our speakers include the Chamber’s Chairman of the Board who delivers a State of the Chamber, the Columbus Mayor gives

a State of the City, and the County Judge a State of the County. A not to be missed event by Chamber members. Chamber Ambassadors is a new program for the Columbus Chamber and one that will be filled with the “cheerleaders” for the Chamber. We look forward to starting this program soon. The Junior Ambassador Program is a scholarship program open to sophomores and juniors in Columbus. The recipients of the scholarships receive a $3,000 scholarship to continue their higher education at either a college of their choice or a trade school. Each ambassador is required to volunteer a minimum of 25 hours over the course of two years as part of the requirements of the scholarship. Ribbon Cuttings and Grand Openings are held for all new Chamber members whether at their place of business or in front of the Stafford Opera House for members without a storefront. The Chamber will also do a rededication for members if they move locations or undergo a major renovation.

ANNUAL EVENTS

Magnolia Days Festival is the third weekend in May in historic downtown Columbus on the Courthouse Square. The festival is a day and a half of live music, merchandise vendors, food vendors, activities and games for the kids, a car show, an art show, reenactments, Biergarten, and so much more. We hope to “see you there, on the square” for the Magnolia Days Festival 2024. The Easter Egg Hunt on the Courthouse Lawn is held the Saturday before Easter and is open to the public free of charge. Approximately 1,000 filled Easter eggs are distributed evenly in three different areas of the lawn to accommodate the different age groups of children. The Fourth of July Celebration in Columbus is the longest running Fourth of July Celebration in the State of Texas. It is always held on the 4th and the fireworks display proudly sponsored by H-E-B takes place at 9:15 pm in the area by Columbus Municipal Golf Course. The city pool is open late for families to enjoy all at no charge. Ladies Night Out is the first Thursday of December from 3-9 pm in beautiful downtown Columbus. Merchants are open late for shopping, and vendors are set up at the Stafford Opera House, on the Courthouse Square, and at locations on Milam Street and Walnut Street. Enjoy live music, food, and wine sampling. Purchase a commemorative wine glass to add to your collection and just enjoy an evening of fun with friends and family.

ABOUT

A River Runs FROM THE SPRINGTIME MAGNOLIA DAYS FESTIVAL, the Friday Night Lights that shine brightly at our three high school stadiums during football season in the fall, to the wildly popular Ladies Night Out at Christmastime, there is always something happening in Colorado County. With our great food, great history, and great times, we represent the best the great State of Texas has to offer. Colorado County was named for the Colorado River, which runs through it. The county was formed in 1836, and the City of Columbus, the county seat, is the oldest surveyed platted AngloAmerican town in Texas. It is on the site of the legendary Indian village of Montezuma. Columbus was established by Stephen F. Austin and his “Old Three Hundred” when they began arriving in the area in 1821. Perhaps the most notable early resident was Benjamin Beeson, who was granted a league of land south of present Columbus in 1824. Beeson’s large home near the river became a stopping point for travelers, and soon acquired

the name Beeson’s Crossing. The site is now home to Beason’s Park, which sits at the bank of the Colorado River. When Sam Houston’s army retreated from Gonzales after the battle of the Alamo, it camped on the East bank of the Colorado River in Colorado County, and the Mexican army camped about two miles west of the river; the armies remained for seven or eight days. Other Mexican troops under Antonio López de Santa Anna arrived on March 25, 1836, and Houston ordered a further retreat. During the Runaway Scrape hundreds of persons crossed the river at Benjamin Beeson’s ford. Colorado County, one of the original counties of the

Columbus Chamber of Commerce

ABOUT

ns Through It Republic of Texas, was formed in 1836 and organized in 1837. The first district court was held by Robert M. Williamson in April 1837 in Columbus. A German settlement grew up around the community of Frelsburg around 1839, and the first German university in the state, Hermann University, was chartered there in 1844. Two other towns, Eagle Lake and Alleyton, formed on the line of the Buffalo Bayou, Brazos, and Colorado Railway, which had begun building into Colorado County in 1859. Alleyton was at one time an important cotton-shipping point. The county’s first newspaper, the Colorado Citizen, began publication in 1857 in Columbus. The newspaper is still in publication today, now known as The Colorado County Citizen, and is among the oldest surviving news publications in the State of Texas. By 1873, the City of Weimar had been formed, like many other towns, in anticipation of the Galveston, Harrisburg, and San Antonio rail line. Weimar was named for Weimar, Germany, and D.W. Jackson donated half of the land for the town’s creation.

LOCALE AND GEOGRAPHY

Colorado County is crossed by Interstate Highway 10, U.S. Highways 90 and 90A, and State Highway 71, as well as by the Union Pacific railroad. The county includes 964 square miles of level to rolling land with elevations that range from 150 to 425 feet above sea level. The average minimum temperature here in January is 41° F, and the average maximum in July is 98°. The growing season lasts 280 days, and from 11 to 20 percent of the land is considered prime farmland. In the northwest portion of Colorado County, in the Blackland Prairie area, the land supports elm, oak, pecan, and mesquite trees along streams. The remainder is a post oak savanna, where post oak, blackjack oak, and elm grow, with walnuts and pecans along streams. Historians say this area has been the site of human habitation for approximately 12,000 years. Archaicage hunters and gatherers lived on deer, bison, roots, and nuts right here in Colorado County. The

Coco branch of the Karankawa tribe hunted through the area, and Tonkawa Indians ranged up into the area from the south.

POPULATION AND CULTURE

After dropping 15 percent between 1900 and 1910 to 18,897, Colorado County’s population remained relatively static during the 20th century, numbering 19,129 in 1930, 17,638 in 1970, and 18,383 in 1990. Throughout most of the 20th century, Columbus, the county seat and largest town, was the home of 15 to 20 percent of the county’s population. The town had 3,367 residents in 1990. According to the 2020 census population counts, Columbus has a population of 3,707, Eagle Lake has a population of 3,402 and Weimar has 2,060 residents. Colorado County is home to over 20,000 residents today. Other unincorporated communities in the county include Sheridan, Garwood, Altair, Bernardo, Oakland, Glidden, Rock Island, Frelsburg, Borden, Chesterville, Nada, Matthews, Mentz, and Alleyton. Colorado County is proud of its diverse cultural makeup. German, Mexican, Austrian, Native American, African, and Czech immigrants played vital roles in the creation of Colorado County, and their influences are still prevalent today. Annual events like the Gedenke! Festival in Weimar, the Prairie Chicken Festival in Eagle Lake and the two-day Magnolia Days Festival in Columbus, which attracts over 4,000, all pay tribute to the county’s rich, colorful history. Colorado County is a food lover’s paradise with mouth-watering, kolaches and klobasneks, awardwinning true-Texas barbecue, famous sausage recipes over a century old, down-home Southern cooking, Thai and Italian foods, breweries, and vineyards right here for you to enjoy. If you love the great outdoors, sprawling sporting clubs, wildlife parks, golfing, hunting, fishing, and a waterpark are all within the county lines. History buff? Well, get comfortable because it will take you days to visit all the historic sites and markers this county is home for. You’ll quickly see that when it comes to fun, this isn’t Colorado County’s first rodeo. And speaking of rodeos, the annual Colorado County Fair in Columbus is over 40 years strong. Three days loaded with carnival rides and eats, live music, rodeo excitement, and much more.

ECONOMY

While the overall cost of living is nearly 20 percent lower than the US average in Columbus, the quality of living here is far above average. The City of Columbus and surrounding areas offer breathtaking, historic homes for rent or sale, ranch-style homes with spacious acreage, as well as affordable apartments and duplexes. Of Colorado County’s 2,000-plus businesses, close to 500 of those are women-owned firms, and over 500 minority-owned firms.

Columbus Chamber of Commerce

Some additional advantages of our small town living include: Columbus is attractively situated approximately 90 minutes away from any point in the “Golden Triangle” of Houston, San Antonio, and Austin. Local workers enjoy commutes of less than 40 minutes of travel time to work. With just over an hour’s drive to three of the major cities in Texas, catching flights or enjoying a quick “night in the big city” is easier than ever. Colorado County is home to a number of industrial, healthcare, and retail businesses, with three independent school districts and two rural hospitals, including Columbus Community Hospital who was named in the Top 100 Rural Hospitals in America. We remain powerful producers of agricultural products as well, with various crops and animals, including rice, corn, cattle, lamb, and more, raised each season.

ABOUT

EDUCATION

Columbus Independent School District, Rice Consolidated Independent School District, and Weimar Independent School District all call Colorado County home. The county has a combined student enrollment of over 3,500 students and an average four-year graduation rate of nearly 90 percent. The districts each offer experienced educators and small teacher/student ratios, as well as career, technical and vocational opportunities, audio/visual and healthcare classes, athletics, fine arts, and much more. Garwood Elementary School, located in the Rice CISD, was awarded the prestigious title of a National Blue Ribbon School in 2019. Colorado County also has two private Catholic Schools for students grades Kindergarten through eighth: St. Anthony Catholic School of Columbus, and St. Michael Catholic School of Weimar. Additionally, Clear Leadership Academy is a private learning center for grades 3K through 12.

NATURE AND OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES

Is hunting your bag? Colorado County has long been regarded as a hunter’s paradise. We are home to the “Goose Hunting Capital of the World” and have entertained many celebrities over the years. Eagle Lake and the entire county are prime hunting grounds for deer, squirrel, quail, rabbit, dove, and much more. Spanning over 2,000 acres, Big Easy Ranch, a members, and guests only sporting club is highly regarded to be one of only two hunting lodges in Texas endorsed by both Orvis and Shooting Sportsman. Pintail Hunting Club in Garwood oversees more than 30,000 acres of owned and leased land and specializes in providing its hunters with the fullest ‘shotgunning’ experience. From the early September teal season to the last snow goose hunt in February, the action never stops. Whether you want to canoe into the sunset, hunt at daybreak, or boat, fish, four-wheel, walk, bike, jog, or bird watch - Colorado County invites you to take off your boots, kick up your heels and stay awhile!
