Newberry College, a fully accredited Lutheran-controlled college, was chartered by the General Assembly of South Carolina on December 20, 1856. Dr. John Bachman, a noted divine and naturalist, was the first president of the board of trustees. During the Civil War, the college was used as a Confederate hospital and a U.S. garrison. It moved to Walhalla in 1868 but returned to Newberry in 1877.
