Randolph-
Macon
was founded in 1830 by the
Virginia
Methodists, and is the oldest Methodist-run college in the country. It was
originally located in Boydton, near the
North Carolina
border but as the railroad link to Boydton was destroyed during Civil War,
t
he college's trustees decided to relocate the school to
Ashland
. The college was named for statesmen John Randolph of
Roanoke
and Nathaniel Macon. (The original site of Randolph-Macon features a historical marker and ruins of the classroom buildings.)
In 1847,
Randolph-Macon
College
established a relationship with the
Hampden-Sydney
College
. alum John Peter Mettauer. The
relationship led to the formation of the
Randolph-Macon
Medical
School
, and in 1951 the school was closed.
The college has a historical relationship with
Randolph
College
(formerly known as Randolph-Macon Woman's College) in
Lynchburg
,
Virginia
. The former woman's college was founded under Randolph-Macon's original charter in 1893 by the then-president William
Waugh Smith; it was intended as a female counterpart to Randolph-Macon. Randolph-Macon became co-educational in 1972 and
Randolph
College
became co-educational in 2007 and the two schools are now governed by two separate boards.
In 1892, two preparatory schools — both called
Randolph-Macon
Academy
— were founded. The only one which remains today is
Randolph-Macon
Academy
in Front Royal, Virginia.
Randolph-Macon
Academy
is today the only co-educational military boarding
school in the country affiliated with the United States Air Force Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFJROTC).
