History:
Dalton State College was chartered as Dalton Junior College by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia in July, 1963. At that time, the local community was required to provide the site and initial building for the campus. Thereafter, the state would provide operating and future building funds.
A constitutional amendment authorizing Whitfield County to vote on the issuance of bonds to fund the development of the campus was passed in the general election of 1964. On May 11, 1965, the voters of Whitfield County approved a bond issue of $1,800,000, by a margin of approximately 26 to 1. Construction grants under Title I of the Higher Education Facilities Act and from the Appalachian Regional Development Act, authorized by the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, supplemented the local bond funds.
