UNC History. As the nation’s first state university, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was chartered in 1789 and opened to students in 1795. Carolina was the only public university to award degrees to students in the 18th century. During the Civil War, many colleges and universities were forced to close, but the University was one of the few Southern institutions to remain open.

Reconstruction was another story. The school was closed from 1870 until 1875 - buildings had deteriorated, equipment had disappeared during the federal occupation of the campus and politicians attempted to direct the course of the University by naming professors, trustees and other officers.
