History

The history of the university can be traced to 1928 when San Angelo College was established, following a municipal election held in 1926. Organized as part of the city school system, the two-year college for many years occupied a site on North Oakes Street near the commercial center of the city. The voters of Tom Green County in 1945 created a County Junior College District and elected the first board of trustees. In 1947, the first building was constructed on the present university site. Tom Green County is a county located in the state of Texas. ...

The university has experienced a rapid transition from the status of a regional junior college to that of an accredited senior institution of higher learning. Angelo State was created as Angelo State College in 1965 by an act of the 58th Session of the Texas Legislature in 1963. The transfer of authority from the Board of Trustees of the junior college to the Board of Regents, State Senior Colleges, became effective on September 1, 1965.

Campus

The 268 acre (1.1 km²) campus has changed significantly since 1965 as a result of the development of an ultramodern physical plant now valued at over $350 million. The Porter Henderson Library was completed in the fall of 1967, and in the spring of 1968 the Raymond M. Cavness Science Building was opened. An academic building and a ten-story women's high rise residence hall and accompanying food service center were opened in September 1968.
