History
The Nevada state constitution established the State University of Nevada in Elko on October 12, 1874. In 1881, it became Nevada State University. In 1885, Nevada State University moved from Elko to Reno.{{cite book |last1=Doten |first1=Samuel Bradford |editor1-last=Davis |editor1-first=Samuel P. |title=The History of Nevada |date=1913 |publisher=Elms |location=Reno |page=504 |url=https://archive.org/details/historyofnevada01davirich/page/504/mode/1up |access-date=June 13, 2025 |format=PDF |chapter=XXII: Educational |quote=So, in 1885, the Legislature authorized the removal of the University to Reno in Washoe County, where in 1886 the first building was constructed, and the work of instruction was begun under Messrs. Willis and McCammon.}} In 1906, it was renamed the University of Nevada.
The University of Nevada remained the only four-year academic institution in the state until 1965, when the Nevada Southern campus (now the University of Nevada, Las Vegas) separated into its own university. In 1969, the university's name was changed to the University of Nevada, Reno to distinguish from the new institution in Las Vegas.
