Northern Kentucky University began as an
extension center of University of
Kentucky, 1948. It became community
college, 1962, and by 1976 was a
state university. It moved here
from Covington in 1972. The 300-acre NKU campus is part of land
first surveyed in April and June
1785, and issued as land patents
by Isaac Shelby in 1792.

Early Schoolhouse. A part of cabin, moved here from Grants Lick area, stood adjacent to Gosney School, and typifies first schoolhouses of Campbell County. Forty-two were erected. Two of them—John's Hill (ca. 1880-1906) and St. John's (ca. 1847-1857)—were within three miles of here. This site is part of land patent of David Leitch, early settler.
