• History & Memorable Moments

Edinboro University of Pennsylvania was founded as the Edinboro Academy, a private training school for Pennsylvania teachers in 1857, by the region's original Scottish settlers. It is the oldest training institution west of the Allegheny Mountains and the second oldest in all of Pennsylvania. As a people, the Scots were both hearty and hardy. Their commitment to teaching and learning, their work ethic, and their strength of family tempered by upbringing in the great Highland Clans have brought a unique perspective and commitment to all we do at Edinboro University today. In the beginning, Edinboro modestly consisted of one two-story building, six classrooms, three instructors, 110 students and a principal. Edinboro now has more than 40 buildings on 585 acres (2.37 km²) and locations in Erie and Meadville. Edinboro University is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2006-07. “Building prosperous future through academic excellence and civility” is the University-wide theme during the years leading to the Sesquicentennial. Today, the academic focus at Edinboro goes well beyond the training of teachers. It has been transformed into what is now northwestern Pennsylvania's largest and most comprehensive university, recognized as a leader in academic programs. ^[1]
