The Kentucky Wesleyan College was founded in 1858 when the Kentucky Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, voted to found a college at Millersburg. The college was first a training school for preachers but the curriculum expanded rapidly to include a solid basis of instruction in the liberal arts. When a demand for business classes was identified, they were also added. Kentucky Wesleyan College celebrated its 150th year of existence in 2008.
