The University of Saint Francis was founded by the Sisters of Saint Francis of Perpetual Adoration in Lafayette, Indiana, in 1890. The campus moved to its current Fort Wayne location in 1944 to the estate of the former industrialist John H. Bass. The school has remained in Fort Wayne and has gradually expanded, adding a graduate school in 1960.

The university's campus covers 108 acres (0.44 km2) and has some 20 buildings, including four residence halls.
The Bass Mansion, a castle-like building that was originally the home of the John H. Bass family, is a focal point of the university and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Pope John Paul II Center is also a main place of activity at the university. Completed in 2006, the building houses the Lee and Jim Vann Library, Registrar's Office, faculty offices, the Campus Shoppe, and classrooms.
In the summer of 1998, the university purchased the former property of the Standard Oil warehouse, which had become polluted with oil residue. In the spring of 1999, the university—with a grant from the City of Fort Wayne and the State of Indiana—cleaned the ground, water, and surrounding area.
