<div class="moz-cite-prefix">First thing I would try would be doing
a spatial join. A spatial Join will take the attributes from the
polygon layer and add them to your point layer. <br>
<br>
Vector Menu -> Data Management Tools -> Join Attributes by
location. You will get more than just the one column but the extra
can be removed. <br>
