== Fun facts ==
* Prior to 1948, Columbia County was strongly Democratic in presidential elections as a part of the Solid South. Starting with the 1948 election, it began to break away from the Democratic Party as the party became more supportive of civil rights. It voted in line with the still Democratic-leaning state as a whole from 1952 to 1976, but was one of the few counties Ronald Reagan won statewide in 1980. Since then, it has become a Republican Party stronghold, with no Democrat even managing 30% of the vote since Georgian Jimmy Carter's 44% in 1980.
* Appling was nearly wiped off the map by a tornado in the 1870s and it never regained the prestige it had prior to the tornado and the Civil War. Although there was an effort to organize the municipality in the early 20th century, the corporation remained inactive. Appling lost its charter in 1995.
* Columbia County's population has been increasing since the 1960s thanks to its proximity to Augusta and Fort Gordon.
