The oldest institution in the United States is Harvard University, which was founded back in 1636. This infographic lists the oldest colleges and universities in each state in the United States, according to research done by the Playground Equipment team using just colleges and universities. Only three colleges in the United States were founded in the 1600s: St. John's College, College of William & Mary (Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1693), and Harvard University (Annapolis Maryland in 1696). These three academic institutions predate the nation itself! It's astonishing that several institutions in the United States can claim to have existed before the country was founded; among them are Dartmouth College (1769), Princeton University (1746), and the University of Pennsylvania (1740).
