The University of Mary Washington was founded in Fredericksburg in 1908 as the "State Normal and Industrial School for Women", to train white women for teaching K-12 and industrial skills. Adopting the name of Mary Washington College in 1938, the college was for many years associated with the University of Virginia (then limited to white men) as a women's liberal arts college. The college became independent of the University of Virginia and began to accept men in 1970. In 2004, the college changed names from Mary Washington College to the University of Mary Washington. Two additional campuses for graduate and professional studies and education and research are located in Stafford County and in King George County, respectively.
