Colombia is a planned community founded in 1992 by the Mexican state of Nuevo León in the Anáhuac Municipality.

It lies on the southern banks of the Río Grande, across from the U.S. city of Laredo, Texas.

It was founded in the Nuevo León / Texas border in order to compete with the bordering Mexican states of Coahuila and Tamaulipas in the Import / Export market.

Colombia was named in honor of Christopher Columbus, since it was founded 500 years after he first came into contact with the Americas.
