I need to know about Columbia in America. Like the D.C.'s and how the space shuttle Columbia got her name.

Columbia is taken from the name, Christopher Columbus, the supposed discoverer of America. Of course, the native Americans were here for thousands of years before Columbus "found" this land. Columbus was the first European to publicize his discoveries.
thx but about the shuttle,and D.C., why did they name them that?
Here are more details about them.
