Columbia Township is one of the twelve townships of Hamilton County, Ohio, USA. The 2020 census found 4,446 people living in the township. Initially one of Ohio's largest townships by area at its inception in 1791,[6] it gradually shrank to one of the smallest by the early 1950s due to annexations by the City of Cincinnati, Norwood, Silverton, the Villages of Fairfax, Indian Hill, Mariemont and others.[7]
