History
Allegheny Wesleyan College started out in 1943 as a private Methodist school in Salem, Ohio. With increasing enrollment, it purchased the forty-three acre Satterthwaite Farm and erected dormitories, classrooms and a dining hall. At that time, it was known as the Salem Bible Institute or Salem Bible College. It sought out religious affiliation with the Allegheny Wesleyan Methodist Connection (AWMC) in 1973 and it continues to remain supported by the Wesleyan Methodists to this day.{{cite book |last1=Kurian |first1=George Thomas |last2=Lamport |first2=Mark A. |title=Encyclopedia of Christianity in the United States |date=2016 |publisher=Rowman & Littlefield |isbn=9781442244320 |language=English}} In the same year, the Rev.
