WHAT IS FIVE POINTS?
Well, that depends who you ask. Five Points has over 100 years of history, accomplishments, tenants, evolution, nostalgia, and the list goes on and on! For some, Five Points is synonymous with Small Business. For others it’s a destination, a must see, a planned outing. Five Points is widely recognized as a gathering place. Overall, the one word that resonates in unison with Five Points is COMMUNITY…. it is after all Columbia’s Original Village Neighborhood. Simply put, Five Points is the downtown district extending from the intersection of Santee Avenue, Harden & Devine Streets connecting Gervais and Blossom Street.
Five Points is Our Mission
While history is celebrated and cherished, the neighborhood continues in its tradition, evolving, as a village, together. With evolution comes change and transition, and for Five Points, new opportunity. The Five Points Association and its Board continue efforts to promote Five Points and what the village has to offer. As a non-profit, the events, development, Clean & Safe team, and beautification projects wouldn’t be possible without the devoting support of our companions & champions; the City of Columbia and Richland County.
