"Mars Hill College" Information
![Mars Hill College]( "Mars Hill College") |
Mars Hill College is the oldest educational institution still on its original site in Western North Carolina. Twenty-three founding families, children and grandchildren of the pioneer settlers of the area, established the school on a tract of land given by Edward Carter. The bricks for the first building were made by volunteer labor, and the building erected by an Asheville contractor.
On Feb. 16, 1859, the school was chartered by the North Carolina General Assembly as Mars Hill College, a name suggested by trustee Lewis Palmer (1791-1874).
In 1960 the Baptist State Convention approved plans for converting Mars Hill into a senior college. The junior year was added in 1962-63, and the first baccalaureate degrees were awarded in May 1964.
