King’s College, the first university in Upper Canada, was founded by royal permission in 1827. After the university broke away from the Church of England and became a secular institution, it adopted its present name in 1850. It is a collegiate institution with 11 colleges, each having a significant degree of institutional and financial autonomy as well as unique personalities and histories. St. George, the oldest of the university’s three campuses, is located right in the middle of Toronto. The other two satellite campuses are located, respectively, in Mississauga and Scarborough.
