Historique
The University of Florida is the oldest and largest university in the state. Its history dates to 1853, when the Kingsbury Academy in Ocala was acquired by the state-supported East Florida Seminary. In the 1860s the seminary moved to Gainesville and later was consolidated with Florida Agricultural College, a land-grant school in Lake City. In 1905 it became the University of Florida and returned to Gainesville.
