Although Harvard is the oldest university in the nation, established in 1636, North Carolina was the first STATE to establish a university.

I forgot to add that UNC was established in 1795.

Thanks for bringing by that information. That would be the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, wouldn't it?

North Carolina is rich in history. I find American History much more interesting now that I ever did when I was in school. :-)
