| About this School |
| Oglethorpe University is a private liberal arts college in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. It was chartered in 1835 and named after James Oglethorpe, the state's founder.
|

| History |
|
The original campus of Oglethorpe College was located at Midway, just south of the city of Milledgeville, then the state capital. The school was built and, at that time, governed by the Presbyterian Church. The American Civil War led to the school's closing from 1862 to 1866.
The college followed the relocation of the capital to Atlanta and, in 1870, began holding classes at the present site of Atlanta City Hall. Plagued by financial difficulties, however, the school closed its doors two years later.
Oglethorpe University was re-chartered in 1913, and in 1915 the cornerstone to the new campus was laid at its present location on Peachtree Road in Atlanta.
Oglethorpe College became Oglethorpe University in 1965.
