History
Catawba College was founded by the North Carolina Classis of the Reformed Church in the United States in 1851. The years following the opening of the college proved to be years of growing prosperity for the new school. The growth of the school was temporarily put on hold due to results of the civil war. After the civil war had ended Catawba continued to make changes to the institution including the decision to make Catawba College a coeducational institution in 1890. In 1926 the college was moved to Salisbury, North Carolina and expanded. The current enrollment is approximately 1,300 students. The college is now affiliated with the United Church of Christ, the successor to the Evangelical and Reformed Church, itself the successor to the Reformed Church in the United States.
