A brief history of Charlotte, North Carolina
Queens University of Charlotte was founded in 1857 as the Charlotte Female Institute, located at College and 9th Streets near the center of the city. From 1891-1896, it was called the Seminary for Girls. In 1896, the Concord and Mecklenburg Presbyteries chartered the Presbyterian Female College. The Seminary for Girls merged with this new college. In 1912, anticipating the move to the present campus in the Myers Park residential area, it became Queens College.
The name Queens College was adopted for three reasons: in response to the request of the Alumnae Association to disarm prejudice, in deference to other Presbyterian colleges which claimed an equal right to the denominational name, and in commemoration of Queen's Museum, a classical school established in Charlotte in 1771 and so-called in honor of the British Queen, Charlotte of Mecklenburg.
