Description
-
The University of Virginia was founded by Thomas Jefferson in 1819. Jefferson began conceptualizing a university in 1802 while he was serving as the president of the United States (1801-1809). In 1817, Jefferson, fellow U.S. presidents James Madison and James Monroe, and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Marshall were joined by twenty-four additional dignitaries to determine a site for a university. Farmland that had belonged to James Monroe was purchased for the location. The University was chartered on January 25, 1819.
