Ohio State University, Columbus College of Art and Design, and Columbus State Community College are high-learning institutions in Columbus. Columbus allegedly possessed the world's largest insane asylum, with roughly 1,300 people, in addition to hospitals linked with medical universities. Columbus, as the capital, was also home to a variety of medical and legal institutions. It was basically designed to serve as a capital to give good economic, political, and social advantages. There were many competitors to be chosen as the capital of Ohio, like Dublin, Franklinton, Delaware, and Worthington. It was chosen as a site for the capital because it had a central location in the state and had great access to transportation routes like the rivers. It was the state legislature that decided to move state government to this region after gaining experience in moving it to both Zanesville and Chillicothe. This city was established in 1812 and was later incorporated in 1816.
