Welcome to the Mansfield University History site!

This site will be a work in progress. . . and a labor of love.
It began in 2007 as part of the celebration of the 150th anniversary of Mansfield University and Mansfield Borough.
As far as we can find, we are the only borough and university to share such an anniversary. The two entities have always been interconnected in many different ways as you'll see on the site.
We continue to post new content in the form of text, photos and audio, so check back in often.
If you have ideas for new information or you have historical information you'd like to contribute, please contact Steve Orner
We hope you will use the site and share your memories with us to add a personal dimension to this occasion.
Thanks and enjoy.

Mansfield University is a community in the best sense of the word. We look out for each other. We push ourselves to dream big. We work hard to achieve success. We care. Mansfield welcomed its first student in 1857 – and to this day, the University continues to seek and serve students with big dreams for their futures.
