Name: University of New Hampshire
Location: Durham, New Hampshire
Yeah, I can barely keep Vermont and New Hampshire straight, that’s not helpful. New Hampshire is the one next to Maine, the one that’s fatter on the bottom than on the top. Durham is in the southeast corner, a little more than an hour’s drive from Boston.
Founded: 1866 as the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts. That names (and apparently the acronym NHCAMA) would stick until 1923 when it was changed to University of New Hampshire by way of a bill passed and signed by the governor.
