The University of North Texas's main campus is situated in Denton, a town with a population of approximately 170,000, in the northern part of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the United States. The university is part of the University of North Texas System and has expanded over the last {{cardinal to word|{{age|format=raw|1975|09|01}}}} years. In 1975, the university acquired and subsequently developed a medical school in Fort Worth.

In 1981, the university spun off its new medical school as its own independent institution under the UNT Board of Regents."Board Okays NT, TCOM Final Merger", by Joyce Hopkins, Denton Record-Chronicle, December 8, 1974 In 2009, the University of North Texas at Dallas became its own independent institution. That same year, the Texas legislature approved the creation of University of North Texas at Dallas College of Law, opening in 2014 in Downtown Dallas as part of UNT Dallas. UNT and its three sister institutions are governed by the University of North Texas System, a system established in 1980 by the board of regents and legislatively recognized in 2003 by the 78th Texas Legislature.

In 2004, UNT opened UNT Discovery Park – {{convert|300|acre|km2}} – in north Denton, with technology incubator facilities dedicated to science and engineering. In 2011, the College of Visual Arts and Design launched the Design Research Center in downtown Dallas in the Design District.[http://news.unt.edu/news-releases/unt-opens-design-research-center-dallas UNT Press Release: UNT opens Design Research Center in Dallas] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150109004101/http://news.unt.edu/news-releases/unt-opens-design-research-center-dallas |date=January 9, 2015 }}, UNT News Service, January 31, 2011

North Texas adopted green and white as its official colors during the 1902–1903 school year. The university also uses black as a tertiary color,{{Cite web |title=UNTS Style Guide 2019-20 |url=https://www.untsystem.edu/offices/marketing-and-communications/documents/unts-styleguide-19-20.pdf |website=www.untsystem.edu}} but it is not a "school color".

File:UNT Eagle statue.jpg

UNT's mascot, the American eagle, was adopted on February 1, 1922, as a result of a student-faculty council debate and ensuing student election.{{Cite web |title=Faculty and Staff {{!}} University of North Texas |url=https://www.unt.edu/faculty-staff.html |access-date=2024-02-17 |website=www.unt.edu |language=en}}

The eagle has had two nicknames, beginning with "Scrappy" in 1950."North Texas College Plans Huge Bonfire," Dallas Morning News, November 14, 1950, Sec. I, pg. 8 The green and white human costumed eagle character, launched in 1963, carried the name "Scrappy" until 1974—during the throes of the Vietnam War—when students adopted the name "Eppy" because it sounded less warlike. Since then, the name has switched back from Eppy to Scrappy; and for the last {{Cardinal to word|{{age|format=raw|1995|09|09}}}} years, the name "Scrappy" has endured.{{cn|date=March 2024}}

The name "Mean Green," now in its {{ordinal to word|{{age|format=raw|1966|11|20}}}} year, was adopted by fans and media in 1966 for a North Texas football defensive squad that finished the season second in the nation against the rush."Eagles are 19-Point Favorite," Denton Record-Chronicle, September 21, 1967, pg 10 That season, Joe Greene,{{cn|date=August 2022}} then a sophomore at North Texas, played left defensive tackle on the football team and competed in track and field (shot put). The nickname "Mean Joe Greene" caught-on during his first year with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1969 when Pittsburgh fans wrongly assumed that "Mean Green" was derived from a nickname Joe Greene had inherited while at North Texas. The North Texas athletic department, media, and fans loved the novelty of the national use of its nickname, and its association with Joe Greene's surname and university's official school color. By 1968, "Mean Green" was branded on the backs of shirts, buttons, bumper stickers, and the cover of the North Texas football brochure."Mean Green Same as Nickname," by Mike Cochran (né John Michael Cochran; born 1936), Abilene Reporter-News (AP), September 1, 1968

Francis Edwin Stroup, EdD (1909–2010),Leaders in Education, Fifth edition, R. R. Bowker, New York (1974) {{OCLC|2167720}}, {{ISBN|978-0-8352-0699-0}} emerged in 1939—ten years after graduating from North Texas—as the winning composer (lyrics and music) of a university sponsored fight song competition organized by Floyd Graham."NTSC Song Author Can't Read Music—Just Pecks Out Songs," Denton Record-Chronicle, June 25, 1950, sec. 2, pg. 1 He taught summers at North Texas from 1939 to 1942. The song, "Fight, North Texas," has endured for {{Cardinal to word|{{age|format=raw|1939|09|01}}}} years and the lyrics have changed minimally to reflect the name changes of the university. While serving as an associate professor at the University of Wyoming from 1946 to 1950, Stroup rewrote the lyrics for the chorus to "Ragtime Cowboy Joe," which was adopted in 1961 as the university's fight song. After serving as head of the Physical Education Department at Southern Arkansas University from 1950 to 1959, Stroup became Professor of Physical Education at Northern Illinois University. While there, Stroup rewrote the lyrics to the chorus of Alonzo Neil Annas' (1882–1966) NIU "Loyalty Song" (1942), which was informally adopted in 1961 and officially 1963 as the "Huskie Fight Song.""Fight song composer turns 100," by Dana Herra, Daily Chronicle (Illinois), September 7, 2009"Stroup, 101, wrote NIU fight song," by Kate Schott, Daily Chronicle (Illinois), December 3, 2010{{Cite web |title=Living Knows no Season – Composer of Fight North Texas Crafts a Life Full Of Song |url=http://www.unt.edu/northtexan/fall2008/living-knows-no-season.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130116130230/http://www.unt.edu/northtexan/fall2008/living-knows-no-season.htm |archive-date=January 16, 2013}}{{Cite web |title=NIU Today - NIU mourns passing of Francis Stroup |url=https://niutoday.info/2010/12/01/niu-mourns-passing-of-francis-stroup/ |access-date=2024-02-17 |website=NIU Today |language=en-US}}{{Cite book |last1=Studwell |first1=William E. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=30G3FK_2M_4C&pg=PT38 |title=College Fight Songs II: A Supplementary Anthology |last2=Schueneman |first2=Bruce R. |date=2013-04-03 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-1-136-38831-6 |language=en}} Stroup also composed songs for Drake University and the University of Chicago. A collegiate academician who played piano mostly by ear and neither majored nor worked in music, Stroup lived to be 101, a number exceeding the songs he composed by one digit. Stroup was inducted in the Halls of Fame of Northern Illinois University and the University of North Texas (1987).

In 1919, Julia Smith (1905–1989), while a music student, and Charles Kirby Langford (1903–1931), then a third-year letterman on the football team and an outstanding overall athlete, composed "Glory to the Green and White" which was adopted as the school's alma mater in 1922.

The Spirit Bell—a {{convert|2000|lb|kg|abbr=on}} bell brought from Michigan in 1891—was a curfew bell from 1892 to 1928.

On Homecoming Fridays, the Talons light a bonfire built from wooden pallets, typically in a 40-by-40-by-25-foot-height structure. The tradition has endured since the 1930s.

"Boomer" is a cannon fired by the Talons at football games since the 1970s. It is a 7/8th scale M1841 6 pound, smooth bore muzzleloader, resting on hand-crafted solid oak from the campus. Talon alumni have restored it three times, the most recent being in the fall of 2007, adding a custom {{linktext|limber}} for transport and equipment.

The Mean Green Machine, a green and black 1931 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan, is driven by the Talons Motorpool Committee at football games and special events. It was donated by alumnus Rex Cauble in 1974.

McConnell Tower, the clock tower atop the Hurley Administration Building at the center of campus, is bathed in green light for victories. The clock is depicted on the official class ring with two different times on its faces: 1:00 (for the One O'Clock Lab Band) and 7:00—the curfew initiated in 1892.

The eagle talon hand signal is formed by curling the thumb and index and middle fingers forward—the ring and pinkie fingers stay closed against the palm.
