History
Columbiana was the birthplace of Harvey S. Firestone of rubber industry fame, before the famous rubber business was established in Akron. There is still a Firestone tractor-tire test facility just a couple of miles north of town.
Columbiana is quickly becoming a "bedroom" community to Youngstown suburbs to the north and is bound to grow in years to come.
