Street behind Bank of Columbia is Jefferson Alley About: Brave brave Jason By Vonnie Kolbenschlag I do believe that is Jefferson, not Madison Alley. There are no signs to designate it, so maybe it needs a sign. It's one of the alley names shown on the original town plat. Washington Alley no longer exists, but Adams, Jefferson, Monroe, and Madison still do. It's remarkable, I think, that the founders of Columbia chose names indicating they were aware of what was going on in Federal City, what the U.S. capital was known as in 1803. Cross streets were Main (now Jamestown and Greensburg) and Market ( Campbellsville and Burkesville.) Fortune and Guardian were original names, too, and I have often wondered why those names were chosen. There seems to me to be a meaning of some sort in their selection.
