In the 1950's, the natives of Southwest Virginia had a great desire for higher education in the area. A group of local men went before the Virginia General Assembly for permission to build the college and were given $5,000 to help aid the costs. In 1954, the two-year college opened, named Clinch Valley College and supported by the University of Virginia. Over the past 53 years, the college achieved four-year status and has drawn new attractions and more people with different cultures to the area. This wesite recounts some of major milestones in the history of Clich Valley College, now the University of Virginia's College at Wise.
