Near the seemingly endless shores of the Texas Gulf Coast, the town of West Columbia holds a very special place in Texas history. It may be a relatively small town but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been a major influence. In 1836, after all of the fighting of the Texas Revolution, West Columbia became the site of the Congress of the Republic of Texas and even served as the capital of this new country for a short while. Today, Texas is a proud state of the United States and West Columbia no longer holds the state’s legislative branch, however, when you choose to book an RV rental in West Columbia, you are setting yourself up to be in the perfect location to explore the marshlands of the Gulf Coast and the forests of East Texas.
