Plymouth State University evolved from Holmes Plymouth Academy, which dates back to 1808 as a pioneer institution for teacher training. The board of trustees located the New Hampshire State Normal School in Plymouth in 1871; the town of Plymouth had offered the Holmes Plymouth Academy and other support to the new school.

In 1927, the American Council of Teacher Colleges evaluated Plymouth Normal School and rated it a Grade A teachers college. A rating it has held ever since. In 1939, New Hampshire’s State Legislature officially recognized the increased stature of the insitutuion by changing its designation to Plymouth Teachers College and, in 1963, to Plymouth State College of the University System of New Hampshire. In 1948, the College offered its first graduate degrees. In 2003, the State Legislature changed the institution’s name to Plymouth State University in recognition of the range and depth of its programming. PSU: TODAY
