| About this School |
| Grinnell College is a liberal arts college in Grinnell, Iowa. It was founded in 1846, when a group of transplanted New England Congregationalists with a strong social-reformer orientation formed the Trustees of Iowa College.
Grinnell is ranked fifteen for liberal arts colleges by the magazine U.S. News & World Report. As of 2006 Grinnell's $1.4 billion endowment is the largest of any liberal arts college.

| History |
|
The college was founded as Iowa College in Davenport, Iowa, in 1846 and was known by that name until 1909 when the Board of Trustees officially adopted its current name. Iowa College had moved from Davenport to the town of Grinnell in the mid-19th century, after the college was invited by Josiah Bushnell Grinnell (to whom Horace Greeley purportedly gave his famous advice, "Go West, young man") to move to his newly-founded town, located at the intersection of two major railroads. Today a railroad still cuts across the college campus.
In 1882, a cyclone destroyed both college buildings.
