A Brief History

—South Green Campus Buildings —

The University of Delaware traces its origins to a school founded by the Rev. Francis Alison in 1743, which later became the Academy of Newark. In 1833, the state of Delaware chartered its first institute of higher education, called Newark College, in Newark, which was closely tied to the academy. Later known as Delaware College, it—with a coordinate Women's College founded in 1914—became the University of Delaware in 1921.

The colonial revival buildings of the former Women's College face the south lawn of The Green. In 1920, Marian Cruger Coffin, one of the first female landscape architects in the country, designed a master plan for the University, creating this south lawn of The Green and connecting it to the north lawn to form a continual axis from Main Street to Park Place.
