It’s the start of the Second Industrial Revolution and New York City has a population of 500,000, many of whom are newly arrived immigrants. Two schools are founded: The Free Academy, later renamed the College of the City of New York, and The Female Normal and High School, opened in 1869 to prepare young women to become teachers. Renamed Hunter College in 1914, it’s the first NYC institution to offer free public higher education to women.
