After the Revolution, residents disagreed as to whether Augusta or Brownsborough should be the <a href="/wiki/County_seat" title="County seat">county seat</a> of Richmond County. At the insistence of William Few, the county was partitioned. The new county formed from Richmond was named "Columbia" (for the origin of the name see <a href="/wiki/Columbia_(name)" class="mw-redirect" title="Columbia (name)">Columbia</a>); this did not end the controversy about location of the county seat. The citizens of Columbia County turned to arguing among themselves. Supporters built one courthouse in Brownsborough, and those of Cobbham built another. The courthouse at Cobbham was used; and Brownsborough in short order ceased to exist. In 1793, part of the county was taken, combined with part of <a href="/wiki/Wilkes_County,_Georgia" title="Wilkes County, Georgia">Wilkes County</a>, and formed into <a href="/wiki/Warren_County,_Georgia" title="Warren County, Georgia">Warren County</a>. </p><p>Around 1799, William Appling deeded a tract of land to the county for the purpose of building a courthouse. It was near Kiokee Creek and the Baptist Church which Marshall had founded. A courthouse was constructed, and served the county until around 1808. The small town that existed around the church and courthouse came to be known as "Columbia Courthouse." In 1809, the Baptist congregation left the town and constructed a new meeting house (a building which survives) several miles away near the junction of Kiokee and Greenbrier creeks. That same year, construction began on a new courthouse, which was completed in 1812. In 1816, Columbia Courthouse was chartered as the <a href="/wiki/Appling,_Georgia" title="Appling, Georgia">Town of Appling</a>, named for the Appling family who had donated the land to the county, and for Colonel John Appling, a local resident who died in a campaign against the <a href="/wiki/Seminole" title="Seminole">Seminole</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Early_19th_century">Early 19th century</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Columbia_County,_Georgia&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Early 19th century"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Appling was the political, educational, social, and religious center of the county.

When the <a href="/wiki/Georgia_Railroad_and_Banking_Company" title="Georgia Railroad and Banking Company">Georgia Railroad</a> was established, the judges determined that having trains' passing near Appling would disturb their proceedings; they insisted that the railway line that was built in the county from Atlanta to Augusta pass well below Appling. Construction of the <a href="/wiki/Augusta_Canal" title="Augusta Canal">Augusta Canal</a> in the 1830s required Columbia County's cooperation, as the beginning of the canal and the locks were within the county. </p><p>In 1855, the Courthouse in Appling received a major overhaul, and after the remodeling was complete, the building was in more or less its present form.

Prior to World War II, the county was still primarily agricultural; it had escaped the <a href="/wiki/Boll_weevil" title="Boll weevil">boll weevil</a> infestation that destroyed cotton crops in Mississippi and other parts of the South. The US Army built Camp (later Fort) <a href="/wiki/Fort_Gordon" class="mw-redirect" title="Fort Gordon">Gordon</a>, taking over a large portion of Richmond County and parts of Columbia, McDuffie, and Jefferson. The Army's keeping the fort after WWII created a new population and economic center for the county. During the 1950s, the <a href="/wiki/Lake_Strom_Thurmond" title="Lake Strom Thurmond">Clarks Hill Dam</a> was constructed, submerging considerable land in northern Columbia County under the new reservoir. It prompted new residential development around the lake. </p><p>Between 1950 and 1990, the population increased dramatically. Agriculture declined, as farmland was redeveloped as suburban housing and community centers for persons employed in Augusta. Numerous personnel stationed at Fort Gordon eventually settled in Columbia County.

Court functions remained in Appling since Georgia state law required that superior court sessions must be held at the county seat and courthouse of each county at least twice a year. In 1998, the legislature changed the law to allow counties with unincorporated county seats to hold court sessions at annexes or satellite courthouses.<sup id="cite_ref-Court_House_1-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Court_House-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> With the 1993 passage of legislation requiring incorporated cities to provide at least three municipal services, Appling was not able to maintain its status as an incorporated city.

This issue first became moot in 1996 when the city of Augusta and Richmond County consolidated their governments. A state law mandating three mile buffer zones between cities effectively halted any efforts for Columbia County to incorporate, as it was contiguous to <a href="/wiki/Augusta,_Georgia" title="Augusta, Georgia">Augusta-Richmond County</a>. </p><p>In 2005, talks of incorporating the county into a city resurfaced when the Georgia state legislature abolished the three mile buffer zone, thus allowing <a href="/wiki/Sandy_Springs,_Georgia" title="Sandy Springs, Georgia">Sandy Springs</a> in North <a href="/wiki/Fulton_County,_Georgia" title="Fulton County, Georgia">Fulton County</a> (contiguous to <a href="/wiki/Atlanta" title="Atlanta">Atlanta</a>) to become a city. Columbia County Commission Chairman Ron Cross led a campaign to bring the idea of county incorporation back to life. However, it was referred to as "consolidation," since counties in Georgia alone cannot incorporate, but can rather consolidate with an existing municipality within the county. The plan was to hold a referendum to incorporate the de facto county seat, <a href="/wiki/Evans,_Georgia" title="Evans, Georgia">Evans</a> (currently a <a href="/wiki/Census-designated_place" title="Census-designated place">census-designated place</a>), as a city and then simultaneously consolidate it with Columbia County. </p><p>The initiative drew strong opposition from officials in <a href="/wiki/Harlem,_Georgia" title="Harlem, Georgia">Harlem</a> and <a href="/wiki/Grovetown,_Georgia" title="Grovetown, Georgia">Grovetown</a>, the county's only municipalities, citing that it would keep their cities from growing. The word "consolidation" also had an immediate negative connotation with many residents of Columbia County, seeing the example of the <a href="/wiki/Augusta,_Georgia" title="Augusta, Georgia">Augusta-Richmond County</a> plagued with <a href="/wiki/Unintended_consequence" class="mw-redirect" title="Unintended consequence">unintended consequences</a>. A straw poll conducted during the county Republican Party primary election, showed strong opposition to the idea countywide. The County Commission Chairman Ron Cross has vowed to keep the issue alive, but based on the negative sentiment from voters, it appears that at least for now, the idea of incorporation is back in hibernation. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Education">Education</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a
