[edit] History

The initial planning for Herkimer Community College began with a meeting in 1962 in Dolgeville, New York. The college was approved by the State University of New York in 1965, and the County Board of Supervisors authorized the college in 1966. The first class, numbering 221 freshmen, entered in the Fall of 1967 at a temporary campus in the Village of Ilion. The current, permanent campus came into use in 1971.
