3. History of the
university
West Virginia University, founded
in 1867, has a long and rich history
as a land-grant university.
In 1862, President Abraham
Lincoln signed the Morrill Act,
offering land grants of 30,000
acres of federally owned land to
each state that agreed to establish
a college to teach agriculture and
the “mechanic arts” (engineering).
The State of West Virginia was
formed the following year and,
shortly thereafter, the state’s
legislature accepted the terms for
the Morrill Act to raise the money
to start the new land-grant college
they called the Agricultural College
of West Virginia.
In 1868, the school’s name was
changed to West Virginia
University
