Name: Stetson University
Location: DeLand, Florida
Where? About halfway between Orlando and Daytona Beach on I-4.
Is that Stetson as in the the hat brand? Why, yes, it is. The university was originally founded in 1883 as DeLand Academy by - wait for it - Henry Addison DeLand, and it became a university in 1887. John B. Stetson, the founder of the hat manufacturing company and inventor of the cowboy hat, was a trustee of the university along with DeLand and Stetson stepped in as primary financial benefactor when DeLand suffered some losses due to a citrus freeze.
