NCCU was chartered in 1909 and opened in 1910 as the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua for the Colored Race. The school reorganized in 1915 as the National Training School and again in 1923, when it was acquired by the state of North Carolina and renamed Durham State Normal School.
In 1925, the state redefined the school's mission, turning it into a four-year liberal arts college, the North Carolina College for Negroes (NCC), the first state-supported African-American liberal arts college in the United States.
The College received its current title, North Carolina Central University, in 1969. The name "Central" was picked in order to keep the schools initials "NCC". In 1972, it became part of the 16-member University of North Carolina System.
