Barber-Scotia College is in Concord, North Carolina. It is a historic college because it is the first black college for girls. The college began in 1867 and taught girls how to be social workers and teachers. The Presbyterian Curch helped to establish the college after the civil war. Scotia Seminary was the college first name. In 1916, the college was renamed Scotia Women's College. When Barber Memorial College in Anniston, Alabama merged with Scotia Women's college in 1930 the college name changed to Barber-Scotia College. The college became coed in 1954, meaning that both girls and boys could go there.
