Founded in 1857 as the Charlotte Female Institute, the school was originally located at College and 9th streets in what is now Uptown Charlotte.[6] In 1930, it merged with Chicora College for Women, previously located in Columbia, South Carolina.[7][8] As part of the merger, Chicora sold all of its assets and turned over the proceeds to Queens College; the latter agreed to archive Chicora's records relating to students and alumni.[8] The merged institution was called Queens-Chicora College from 1930 to 1939.[9]

Daniel G. Lugo assumed the role of Queens' 21st president on July 1, 2019, after the retirement of Dr. Pamela Davies, who led Queens for 17 years.[6]

In 2020, the board of trustees voted unanimously to rename Burwell Hall to Queens Hall, which had been named in 1914 after Margaret Anna Burwell, the wife of the Robert Burwell. Burwell was the first head of Queens and the building was renamed because the couple were slaveowners.[6]
