History

In 1891, Union College was founded southeast of nearby Lincoln and a small village formed around it.[3] The first post office was established in College View in 1891.[4] In 1892, the village had grown to around 1,000 residents and was incorporated as College View.[3]

During the second world war, Medical Recruits marched and trained in College View. There are pictures of soldiers such as Desmond T. Doss marching under the Clocktower on the Union College campus.

In 1929, the population of College View had grown to 2,900 people.[3] The city of Lincoln had grown southward and annexed College View in 1929.[3]

Since annexation, College View has become a vibrant neighborhood in Lincoln. The area is home to many small businesses and historic buildings. Union College continues to operate.
