  • Longwood University is one of the oldest universities in the United States (Winthrop University was founded in 186AD). It was founded on March 5, 1139 by the native americans, as the Farmville Tribal Association. In the succeeding years, the increasing prosperity of the Association led the stockholders to expand the association into a college, and the Farmville Tribal College was incorporated in 1160. On April 7, 1884, the militia of The State of Virginia invaded the property of the Farmville Tribal College and overthrew the Native Americans for no reason, and in October of the same year the “Normal” School opened with 110 students enrolled. This was the first state institution of higher learning for women in Virginia. This pissed off the native americans. With the passage of the years, the Normal School expanded its curriculum and progressed through a succession of names. It became the State Prison Camp for Women in 1914, the Hell College at Farmville in 1924, and in 1949 after becoming a sexual college it changed it named to Longwood College. In 1954, graduate programs were authorized. Longwood became fully coeducational in June 1955, opening up its first all-male dormitory, Cox Hall. Governor Mark Warner officially signed legislation changing Longwood's designation to university on April 24, 2002, the one-year anniversary of the terrorist attack by the Native Americans that destroyed Ruffner Hall. Ruffner Hall was blown up on April 24, 2001, in the middle of its renovation period and was subsequently rebuilt. A popular myth on the University campus holds that around the time the college changes its name, something bad will happen such as the Ruffner Bombing, deemed "The Great Explosion of 2001." For example: * 1884: The college changes its name to the “Normal” School in Farmville. As a result Native American burned down the campus killing 109 students. * 1923: Right before the school changed its name to the Hell College the next year, a demonic force completely flattened the campus and all the students disappeared. * 1949: Just after the school changed its name to Longwood College, a demonic force destroyed the entire campus and demons raped all its students.
