Durham, North Carolina;
Founded in 1838 (as Trinity College)
Duke University was created in 1924 by James Buchanan Duke as a
memorial to his father, Washington Duke. The Dukes, a Durham family that
built a worldwide financial empire in the manufacture of tobacco
products and developed electricity production in the Carolinas, long had
been interested in Trinity College. Trinity traced its roots to 1838 in
nearby Randolph County when local Methodist and Quaker communities
opened Union Institute. The school, then named Trinity College, moved to
Durham in 1892. In December 1924, the provisions of James B. Duke's
indenture created the family philanthropic foundation, The Duke
Endowment, which provided for the expansion of Trinity College into
Duke University. |
