Columbia Hills Corners, Ohio

Columbia Hills Corners is an unincorporated community in Lorain County, in the U.S. state of Ohio.

History

An early variant name was Copopa.[1] A post office called Copopa was established in 1824, and remained in operation until 1904.[2] The euphonic name of Columbia Hills Corners was coined by a property developer in order to generate interest in his new country club near the town site.[3]

gollark: Personally, I suspect the thought process is something like:- "Hmm, CC does not look like [Windows/MacOS/whatever the user was brought up on and uses lots]"- "I must make it like this! This is an obvious usability improvement."- "Clearly nobody has thought of this already or, as it's obviously better, it would be used everywhere."
gollark: And some bundled programs, primarily other people's.
gollark: The majority of "OS"es are glorified startup screens maybe with a GUI or something. This is *not useful*.
gollark: SquidDev explained it here: https://gist.github.com/SquidDev/6fa444798bbe01f4068bf82a76ac273f
gollark: "OS"es are one of CC's most popular projects, despite most of the implementations of them delivering near-zero value.
