On Monday September 12, 1927, eighty-five students enrolled at the new Buncombe County Junior College, in Biltmore, NC. Over the subsequent ninety years the college would undergo several changes in both name and location, and evolve into UNC Asheville.
Here we track our evolution, from a two year junior college to the only dedicated liberal arts university in the UNC system, by highlighting and saluting the key people, events, and places that have shaped the history of UNC Asheville.
