Bangor

Bangor was established in 1884 with 58 students housed in a former coaching inn, and became a constituent college of the university in 1893. Growth was relatively slow until the 1960s, and in 1976 St Mary’s College of Education joined the college, to be followed 20 years later by Bangor Normal College. In September 2007 the University of Wales, Bangor became Bangor University.
