The Albemarle-Pamlico Peninsula is located in northeastern North Carolina, inshore of Nags Head and the Outer Banks in the Inner Banks region. The peninsula is framed by Albemarle Sound to the north, Alligator River to the east, and the Scuppernong River to the west. In addition to the Scuppernong River, Tyrrell County is bordered on the north by the Albemarle Sound, one of the East Coast's largest estuarine systems, and to the east by the Alligator River.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 0.5 square miles (1.3 km2), all land.
Tyrrell County was Named for Sir John Tyrrell, one of the Lords Proprietors of the Carolina colony. Tyrrell County's original boundaries originally stretched westward from Roanoke Island to near present-day Tarboro. In 1870 the territory was divided and resulted in what is now known as Tyrrell, Martin, Washington, and Dare counties. Elizabethtown, later renamed Columbia, was established on the banks of the Scuppernong River in 1793 and became the Tyrrell County seat in 1799.

Somerset Place State Historic Site, a representative antebellum plantation dating from 1785, is located near Columbia. Beginning in 1829, this was home to two generations of the Collins family-Josiah Collins III, his wife Mary, and their six sons. It was also home to more than three hundred enslaved men, women, and children of African descent whose lives and work are interpreted here as well. Somerset Place offers an insightful view of plantation life during the antebellum period.

The earliest news paper in Columbia is known as the Eagle[5] and last known issue: Apr. 1, 1943.

    You see the McDonalds on Assembly street constructed in brick? The city made them match the surrounding buildings in on the street. Across four the McDonalds you could see a Publix grocery in the same brick to match the old buildings next to it.

    Was just in downtown Raleigh, NC last weekend. It's amazing the difference wider streets make to the perception of a city like in Columbia.

    At 28:32 that your camera can't pickup as it will not turn is our beautiful State Capitol building. And to the left is Main Street. Another pretty part of town.

    At 32:34 you are in the heart of Five Points. As one of the lowest parts of the city, it floods often. If an above amount of rain hits, it is common for this part of town to get 1 to 2 feet of water in the street. Also on St. Patricks day, this area is shut down for drunks and bands. To the right and up the hill is the main campus of USC.

    About 30:29 you are entering what is called Five Points. The name comes from five streets converging in the same area. On the right is the right and on the hill is USC. Five points is party town for the campus where all the college drunks go. This area is full of bars and several even parties happen here each year. It is also a part of town full of crime.

    As a retired SCDOT employee, not many streets or parts of town I do not know. Columbia is a college town. In the first few minutes of this video, and on the right side of the road mostly was the University of South Carolina. It is a massive amount of room this college takes. I was hoping that you would take Assembly street going south and topping the hill near the university so the viewers could see Williams-Brice Stadium. That is how large the campus is. I know it is not the biggest college in student count but is covers a very large part of Columbia downtown.
