Columbus is a city in Burke County, North Dakota, United States. The population was 139 at the 2020 census. Columbus was founded in 1906. Both this town and nearby Larson were named for an early postmaster who served the area (Columbus Larson), making it possibly the only town so named that was not named for Christopher Columbus.
