After the Civil War, a normal school (for educating teachers) was formalized in
Hampton
in 1868,
with former Union Brigadier General Samuel C. Armstrong as its first principal. The new
school was established on the grounds of a former plantation named "Little
Scotland
" which
had a view of the great
harbor
of
Hampton Roads
. It was legally chartered in 1870 as a land
grant school, and was first known as "Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute."
Booker T. Washington came from West Virginia to graduate from this school, and eventually
founded Tuskeegee Institute (now University) in
Alabama
.
Typical of traditionally Indian, Mulatto and Black colleges and universities,
Hampton
received
much of its financial support in the years following the Civil War from church groups and
former officers and soldiers of the Union Army
.
At the close of its first decade, the school reported a total admission in the ten years of 927
students, with 277 graduates, all but 17 of whom had become teachers. Many of them had
bought land and established themselves in homes; many were farming as well as teaching;
some had gone into business. Only a very small proportion had failed to do well. By another
10 years, there had been over 600 graduates. In 1888, of the 537 of them alive, three-fourths
were teaching, and about half as many undergraduates were also currently teaching. It was
estimated that 15,000 children in community schools were being taught by
Hampton's students and alumni that year.
In 1878,
Hampton
established a formal education program for Native Americans, beginning
the Institute's lasting commitment to serving a multicultural population.
Hampton
Normal
and Agricultural Institute became simply Hampton Institute
in 1930 and became
Hampton
University
in 1984.
