The college was founded in 1874 as Rose Polytechnic Institute by Chauncey Rose. It retained this name until 1971 when it became the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, paying honor to the Hulman family of Terre Haute, which donated its 123-acre farm for the school's use and was otherwise financially supportive over the years. The school became coeducational in 1991.
