Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College

History

The Oklahoma Senate passed Senate Bill 225 on March 17, 1919 to establish the Miami School of Mines. The school began operations in September 1920. In 1924, the school became Northeastern Oklahoma Junior College, as mining became less important in Miami. In April 1943, the Board of Regents for the Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges gained control of the college, and the college became Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College.
