After starting as a Delaware, Ohio, academy for women in 1850, equivalent to a high school, it expanded its program in 1853 to begin service as a college.[1] In 1877, the Ohio Wesleyan Female College merged with Ohio Wesleyan University. It had been a Coordinate College in relationship with that nearby men's school since 1853.[1]
