 The oldest private college in Georgia, LaGrange has a rich history spanning 175 years.
In 1831, LaGrange began as a women's academy that was housed in a large white building just across the street from our current campus. A few years later, in 1842, we moved to our present location on "the Hill," which is the highest geographical point in the city of LaGrange. We changed our name to LaGrange Female College in 1851, then to LaGrange College in 1934. The school officially became coed in 1953.
LaGrange has retained Methodist ties throughout its history. Today LaGrange College is part of the North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church.
