A Short History of Cokesbury College
Built in 1854, Cokesbury College was part of one of South Carolina’s earliest planned educational communities. The surrounding village grew up around schools dedicated to educating young men, young women, and, later, emancipated African Americans, including Cokesbury Female College, Cokesbury Manual Conference School, and Allen University.
Although it feels peaceful and tucked away today, Cokesbury was once a thriving hub of education for the entire state in upstate South Carolina, founded after community leaders gathered on July 4, 1824, to establish a new village devoted to education.
