History

---

Michigan Technological University traces its origin to 1885, when the state of Michigan founded the Michigan Mining School in response to the Keweenaw Peninsula's copper mine boom of the late 19th century; the Mining School served to train mining engineers to operate the local copper mines efficiently.

Initially, the Michigan Mining School consisted of four faculty members and 23 students on the second floor of the Houghton Fire Hall. In 1897, the school expanded and changed its name to the Michigan College of Mines, only to be later renamed to the Michigan College of Mining and Technology. The college grew into a multidisciplinary university, and finally adopted the moniker Michigan Technological University in 1964.
