Question: What British monarch is Queens University’s founding associated with?
Answer: In 1771, settlers attempted to establish a Presbyterian school in Charlotte, endorsed by a colonial assembly that authorized the school. King George III revoked its charter, fearing anti-royalist sentiments. Operating as Queen’s Museum, it educated future leaders like William R. Davie and Andrew Jackson, later becoming Liberty Hall Academy and relocating to Salisbury in 1784. It evolved through various names and relocations, merging with the Presbyterian Female College in 1896 and settling in Charlotte’s Myers Park by 1915.
