Columbus

The unincorporated community of Columbus is part of the Mansfield Township in Burlington County, New Jersey. Most of Mansfield Township’s governmental offices are located in and around Columbus. It is also the main business district in the township with many businesses lining the main roads in the area. The area settled in the 18th century and featured a tavern named Black Horse Tavern. The community was originally took the name of Black Horse after the tavern. Around 1825 a movement was on foot to change the name of the village, which was officially changed to Columbus, after Cristopher Columbus, in 1827 when the post office was established. It is said that the inn keeper of the Black Horse Tavern was so enraged that he refused to serve any man who called the town by its new name. Opening in 1919, the Columbus Farmer’s Market is the largest and oldest farmer’s market in the Delaware Valley. The market originally served as an auction for farm animals such as cattle and horses. The original location of the Columbus Farmer’s Market was in the center of town. However, in 1929 the market relocated to its current location on Route 206. The market continued to grow at its new location, selling not only livestock but a variety of agricultural machinery and fresh eggs.
