Columbus became Sister Cities with Tainan City on September 9, 1980. This made Tainan City the first Sister City that Columbus had in Asia.<\/p>\n

Tainan and Columbus have accomplished a great deal over the course of our relationship. One of our more notable, and recent projects being the earthquake relief fund\u00a0<\/a>we developed to help aid Tainan after a devastating earthquake occurred in 2016.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
