Emory University Quadrangle

The history of Emory University dates to 1833, when the Georgia Methodist Conference first considered establishing a church-sponsored manual labor school that would combine farm work with a college preparatory academic curriculum. Such a school opened near Covington in Newton County in March 1835, initially named the Georgia Conference Manual Labor School, but in the following year became Emory College. Classes began in 1838 and as the school developed gradually on the former manual labor school’s land, so did a town named Oxford.
