The University of North Alabama (UNA) is a public university in Florence, Alabama. It is the state’s oldest public university. Occupying a 130-acre (0.5 km2) campus in a residential section of Florence, UNA is located within a four-city area that also includes Tuscumbia, Sheffield, and Muscle Shoals. The four cities comprise a metropolitan area with a combined population of 140,000 people.[6]
The University of North Alabama was founded as LaGrange College in 1830. It was reestablished in 1872 as the first state-supported teacher’s college south of the Ohio River. A year later, it became one of the nation’s first coeducational colleges.
