1866 California The Standing Committee of the Parliament, in accordance with the Morrill Land Grant Act signed by President Lincoln( Morrill Act )Decided to establish a new institute“ Agriculture mining And Mechanical Technology College ", but there was no suitable campus. At that time, the private California College was lack of funding. [10] Later, people thought of combining the two and establishing a comprehensive university.
In 1868, the governor of California signed a bill to establish the University of California on the former site of the private California College. Five years later, the school moved to a new campus four miles away. At that time, to commemorate the arrival of a man North America Sages who spread religion and culture George Berkeley (George Berkeley), the city where the new campus is located is named“ Berkeley (Berkeley). At that time, the University of California was also equivalent to the University of California, Berkeley. Berkeley also became the origin and earliest campus of the University of California.
With the rise and popularity of the University of California, Berkeley, this city called "Berkeley" is also famous around the world. With the development of California's economy and population, only one University of California in Berkeley has been unable to meet the increasing needs of society. At the same time, California's vast geographical and urban distribution also determines that the University of California cannot be limited to running schools in Berkeley. Therefore, the University of California later set up nine campuses in different regions, which eventually led to the formation of the Berkeley campus Mega university System - University of California system.
