History[]
The Nebraska Legislature passed a bill to establish a Nebraska School of Agriculture as a boarding school for high school students in 1911. Curtis was selected as the site for the new school, over 11 other applicants in the state. Classes began in 1913.[1]
In the 1960s, the Nebraska Legislature passed legislation to convert the school to a post-secondary agriculture school, the University of Nebraska School of Technical Agriculture (UNSTA). The college opened in 1965.[1]
UNSTA was adopted by the University of Nebraska system as the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture in Curtis in 1994.[1]
