After Cane Hill College in Washington County was closed in 1891, the Cumberland Presbyterian Church opened Arkansas Cumberland College in Clarksville (Johnson County) on September 8, 1891. The name was changed to College of the Ozarks in 1920, and, in 1987, the name changed once again to the University of the Ozarks. The college campus is shown here sometime in the 1920s.
