Name: University of Louisville
Location: Louisville, Kentucky, obviously
Founded: 1798, kind of
Kind of? Yeah, kind of on a lot of levels. The charter to form Jefferson Seminary was created in 1798, but the seminary didn’t actually open their doors until 1813. The seminary would eventually close its doors in 1829, but it would reopen in 1837 under the guise of the Louisville Medical Institute. That was a product of a faculty fissure at Transylvania University in Lexington, and yet another faculty fissure led to the creation of the Louisville Collegiate Institute in 1840.
