    Randolph-
    Macon
    was founded in 1830 by the
    Virginia
    Methodists, and is the oldest Methodist-run college in the country. It was
    originally located in Boydton, near the
    North Carolina
    border but as the railroad link to Boydton was destroyed during Civil War,
    t
    he college's trustees decided to relocate the school to
    Ashland
    . The college was named for statesmen John Randolph of
    Roanoke
    and Nathaniel Macon. (The original site of Randolph-Macon features a historical marker and ruins of the classroom buildings.)
    In 1847,
    Randolph-Macon
    College
    established a relationship with the
    Hampden-Sydney
    College
    . alum John Peter Mettauer. The
    relationship led to the formation of the
    Randolph-Macon
    Medical
    School
    , and in 1951 the school was closed.
    The college has a historical relationship with
    Randolph
    College
    (formerly known as Randolph-Macon Woman's College) in
    Lynchburg
    ,
    Virginia
    . The former woman's college was founded under Randolph-Macon's original charter in 1893 by the then-president William
    Waugh Smith; it was intended as a female counterpart to Randolph-Macon. Randolph-Macon became co-educational in 1972 and
    Randolph
    College
    became co-educational in 2007 and the two schools are now governed by two separate boards.
    In 1892, two preparatory schools — both called
    Randolph-Macon
    Academy
    — were founded. The only one which remains today is
    Randolph-Macon
    Academy
    in Front Royal, Virginia.
    Randolph-Macon
    Academy
    is today the only co-educational military boarding
    school in the country affiliated with the United States Air Force Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFJROTC).
