Clark College was founded on Sept. 19, 1869, shortly after the end of the Civil War by a religious organization that later became the United Methodist Church.

Several historically black colleges and (renamed later) universities were created in the 19th century. These HBCUs were joined by a healthy grouping of HBCUs founded between 1900 and 1975.
