Driving Around Small Town Columbus Junction, IA in 4k Video

Filmed on Wednesday, April 19, 2023, I drive around the village Columbus Junction, Iowa to see what's going on. Columbus Junction is a city in Louisa County, Iowa. The population was 1,830 at the 2020 census. Columbus Junction began as a settlement located at the intersection of two railroad lines. The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad built an east–west line through the area in 1858, and the perpendicular north–south Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Minnesota Railroad line was built in 1870. The first local business, a restaurant and boarding house, opened the day after a BCR&M train made the inaugural stop and crossing of the newly completed intersection. Just a month later, on March 12, 1870, the town was platted. Neighboring Columbus City had been established before the railroads arrived and both the Rock Island and BCR&M had built their lines over a mile's distance away. Because they had invested in the latter line, they were permitted to name the new town, and so it became Columbus Junction. The largest sustained period of growth for Columbus Junction was from 1960 to 2000, driven primarily by job creation in meat processing. From 1961 to 1982 Rath Packing Company operated a hog processing plant just north of the city. In 1985 the facility reopened under the ownership of IBP, and in 2001 was bought by Tyson Foods. Immigration has played a strong role in the history of Columbus Junction. The most recent wave of immigrants includes refugees from Myanmar. Many of them work in the meat processing plants. As of the census of 2010, there were 1,899 people, 687 households, and 468 families residing in the city. The racial makeup of the city was 74.2% White, 1.6% African American, 0.3% Native American, 3.4% Asian, 17.4% from other races, and 3.0% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 48.0% of the population. The per capita income for the city was $16,314. About 9.7% of families and 11.2% of the population were below the poverty line, including 13.7% of those under age 18 and 8.2% of those age 65 or over. #driving #travel #drivingtour
