## History

[edit]

California State University, Fresno was founded as the Fresno State Normal School in 1911 with Charles Lourie McLane as its first president.[20] It was one of about 180 "normal schools" founded by state governments to train teachers for the rapidly growing public common schools. Some closed but most steadily expanded their role and became state colleges in the early 20th century and state universities in the late 20th century.[21]

The Old Administration Building, Fresno State's first permanent building (now part of Fresno City College)

The original campus was what is now Fresno City College. In 1956, Fresno State moved its campus to its present location in the northeast part of the city; FCC bought the old campus and moved back in.[22] It became Fresno State College in 1949, when it was authorized to grant bachelor's degrees. It became a charter institution of the State College System of California, forerunner of the California State University System, in 1961. In 1972, the name was officially changed to California State University, Fresno.[20]

Even after changing its official name to "California State University, Fresno", the school has long been called "Fresno State" for short, particularly in athletics. In recent years, "Fresno State" has been accepted as first reference for news stories. The university now recommends use of "Fresno State" in most contexts, stating "California State University, Fresno is the official name, but should only be used for specific audiences or international audiences."[23]

## Campus

The greater campus extends from Valley Children's Stadium on the west boundary to Highway 168 on the east side. The University Agricultural Laboratory designates the northern boundary of the campus, while Shaw Avenue designates the southern edge.
