History
Columbiana was laid out by Joshua Dixon and William Heald in 1805. The city takes its name from Columbiana County, which itself is named in honor of 15th-century Italian explorer Christopher Columbus, combining his surname with the mass noun suffix -iana. Columbiana was incorporated as a village in 1837 and elevated to a city in 2000.
The Jones–Bowman House, built in 1842, is believed to have been part of the Underground Railroad. Businessman Harvey S. Firestone, who founded the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, was born and raised in Columbiana in the late 19th century. In 1933, he and his wife Idabelle Smith Firestone donated 53 acres in the city to develop Firestone Park, which opened in 1935. The Firestone Farms shopping center, housing development and golf course are named after him.
