The whole Pacific North West coast of North America was called Colombia at one stage. Hence the Canadian Provence of British Colombia ; and a lot of Washington state is historically referenced to Colombia but changed after the war of independence . The voyage of Christopher Columbus obviously had impact right across the Americas and lots of places were named after him. It is closer to 10k miles from Alberta to the country Colombia. I doubt these things move more than 1km in their life .
