North Dakota State Normal and Industrial School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The State Normal and Industrial School was a state-supported institution of higher learning located in Ellendale, North Dakota. Established in 1893, the school over the years offered various teacher-training curricula as well as college-level industrial-arts programs; a high school curriculum was also provided for a time.
The college's history was marked by low enrollment, limited state support, and changes in its name and assigned mission. In 1965 the school was attached to the University of North Dakota, and became known as "Ellendale Center -- University of North Dakota." The campus finally closed in 1971.
In 1972, the state sold the Normal and Industrial School facility to Trinity Bible College, which moved to Ellendale and continues to utilize the campus today.
