![Kentucky State University was chartered in May 1886 as the State Normal School for Colored Persons, only the second state-supported institution of higher learning in Kentucky.[1] During the euphoria of Frankfort's 1886 centennial celebration, the city donated $1,500 towards the purchase of land for a new college on a bluff overlooking Frankfort.
The new school formally opened on October 11, 1887, with three teachers, 55 students, and John H. Jackson as president.[1] Recitation Hall](https://mediaim.expedia.com/destination/2/153e32620cffbd999fa3637cc30e197d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh)
