Stetson University

By Maggi Smith Hall

Stetson University was founded in 1883 in historic DeLand, Florida, and has been educating students for over a century.

The passionate vision of the town's early promoter Henry Addison DeLand contributed in a large way to the success of the university. DeLand, a New Yorker with a dream, wanted his newly adopted town to be distinctive in rural Central Florida. Since the state had no four-year college, his foresight brought to fruition the excellent educational facility we have today.
