Whether it is home-made cupcakes or tiered professional cakes there is a long-standing tradition of cake cuttings to celebrate the beginning of Columbia. Our official birthday is June 21, 1967, the day that marked the beginning of Columbia with the dedication of Wilde Lake.
Take a visual journey through the years in photographs captured primarily by Ron Fedorczak, a Columbia resident who can be recognized by the cameras around his neck. Thanks Ron for recording Columbia and donating them to Columbia Archives.
