Name: St. Bonaventure University
Location: Allegany, New York
Allegany as in the national forest in Pennsylvania? Yes! That’s named for the Allegany River, which was one of the waterways that was the inspiration of the name of Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh. The river stretches up into New York, all the way to where SBU is located.
Founded: They say 1858, but also that their first class graduated in 1858? Seems confusing, but that’s the 1850s for you, I guess.
Evolution: It was St. Bonaventure College for nearly 100 years.
