The Middle Georgia Military and Agricultural College was established in 1879 by an Act of the Legislature. The purpose of the school was to prepare students for "higher classes at University of Georgia (Athens)…, for the business of practical farm life and mining, and… for the profession of teaching." In 1900, the name of the school changed to Middle Georgia Military College.
