History & Points of Pride
UNC Greensboro was established by legislative enactment on February 18, 1891, when the City of Greensboro citizens approved $30,000 in bonds for its first buildings. The original site was built on 10-acres, provided by R.S. Pullen and R.T. Gray. The institution opened on October 5, 1892, and now sprawls over 266 acres.
