DescriptionNorth Central College was founded in 1861 by the Evangelical Association, a predecessor denomination of the United Methodist Church. Until 1870, the College was located in Plainfield, Illinois, and was originally known as Plainfield College. The name was changed to North-Western College in 1864 and to North Central College in 1926. The College's founders expressed the advanced thought for that day that "Christian commitment and intellectual attainments are compatible," and from the beginning the College was nonsectarian in its hiring and admission practices. This pioneering concept along with the commitment to inclusiveness and diversity that are hallmarks of the United Methodist Church is part of the heritage of North Central College and continues to add depth and meaning to its programs. In 1870, the College moved to Naperville, Illinois, then an agricultural village of fewer than 2,000 people, located on the Burlington & Quincy railroad line. Today, Naperville is one of the fastest-growing and most desirable cities in the nation, with a population of more than 100,000 residents, outstanding community services, and a reputation as the Midwest center of scientific research and development.
