In 1826, the legislature granted land to Laurel and some other counties for educational purposes. After the land was sold, the seminary opened in 1858. It was used as a hospital during the Civil War. Gov. W.S. Taylor called a special session of the legislature here in 1900. It served as a common school from 1870 to 1884, a private school from 1884 to 1893, a common school again from 1893 to 1906, and then a public school. The original building was replaced in 1954.
