History of UMass Boston 

The University of Massachusetts Boston was established in 1964. However, its roots can be traced back to the 1850s with the creation of the Girls' High School in Boston; a school to train teachers of the elementary grades. Ultimately this became the Teachers College of the City of Boston in 1922. This institution was renamed twice more: State College of Boston in 1960 and Boston State College in 1968. Meanwhile the hitherto separate University of Massachusetts Boston opens its doors at the new Boston Harbor campus in 1974. Shortly after this, Boston State College joins the University of Massachusetts Boston in 1982, making it what it is today.
