STATE COLLEGE PENN STATE
|
The Borough of State College is home to Penn State University. In 1759, General James Potter was the first settler in Happy Valley. A well known State College landmark is Mount Nittany, which was named for the mythical Delaware Indian Princess Nita-Nee. In 1855 the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania chartered Penn State on 200 acres donated by James Irvin of Bellefonte. It's been said that there's a point on the Penn State campus that is the exact center of Pennsylvania. In 1863 the Agricultural College of Pennsylvania became The Pennsylvania State College, a land-grant institution. In 1953 the name was changed to The Pennsylvania State University and the University Park campus post office was established. |
