About Columbiana:
Welcome to the Shelby County's "Newly Revitalized" City of Columbiana, home of the County Seat. Columbiana is full of beauty and is a magnificently charming community in which to live, work, and raise a family.
Incorporated in 1837, with corporate limits one-quarter mile in each direction from the public square, Columbiana was first called Columbia. An act of the Legislature changed the name to Columbiana on January 13, 1832. Prior to the Civil War, an iron foundry was located in Columbiana and during the war, CB Churchill operated a foundry for the Confederate government. It was burned in 1865.
Columbiana, as county seat, is home to many County Government offices and Organizations such as the Shelby County Board of Education, The Shelby County Sheriffs Department and the Adult Jail and the Harrison Regional Library, the main office of the Shelby County Libraries. Commerce is also abundant featuring the Elastic Corporation of America, Citation Foam Casting, Central Alabama Fabricators, upscale retail and antique shops, fine dining and lots more. Having easy access to Interstate I-65, Highway 280 and Lay Lake is a real plus in this charming bedroom community.
