History NC State has developed into a vital educational and economic resource.

Established March 7, 1887 Founded in 1887, NC State —then known as the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts— began classes in the fall of 1889 with 72 students, six faculty and one building. Since then, we've grown to become the largest public institution in North Carolina through our innovative community of faculty, staff and students. Today, the university has over 37,000 students, 9,000 faculty and staff and more than 700 buildings.

1910s The passage of the Smith-Lever Act in 1914 enabled land-grant colleges to establish state, county and local extension programs to further support their existing work. These new programs allowed the university's knowledge resources to directly benefit the people of North Carolina. By 1918 the college had an enrollment of over 700 students and a new name: North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering, or more Historic marker on Hillsborough Street

commonly known as State College.

History

1920s In the following decades, State College continued to expand its curricula, creating schools of design, forestry, physical science and mathematics and humanities and social sciences. During these years of growth, the name was changed again—this time to North Carolina State University at Raleigh.

Today Belltower under construction, circa 1924

Consistently ranked a national best value and among the nation’s top 100 public universities, NC State is a preeminent research institution, attracting top faculty and students from around the world. Together with our public and private partners, we create economic, societal and intellectual prosperity.

Today the university celebrates its storied history though 10 official hallowed places found across all three campuses. Marked by plaques, the hallowed places range from historic, brick-laden blocks to sprawling acres of lush greenery. The university defines them as “irreplaceable

campus buildings, landscapes and natural settings that have accrued special meaning over time.”

All 10 are places of great importance to NC State. Places for quiet, reflective moments or raucous, eruptive celebrations. Places to soak up the first warm day of spring and revel after the last exam of the fall semester.
