About Bangor University

  In Bangor, Wales, there is a public university called Bangor University. It was one of the founding organizations of the federal University of Wales and acquired its Royal Charter in 1885.

 Originally known as University College of North Wales (UCNW; Welsh: Coleg Prifysgol Gogledd Cymru), it changed its name to University of Wales, Bangor (UWB; Welsh: Prifysgol Cymru, Bangor) before separating from the University of Wales to become Bangor University in 2007.

The University College of North Wales (UCNW) was established on October 18, 1884, with an inauguration speech delivered in Penrhyn Hall by the Earl of Powis, the college's first President.

Then 3,000 quarrymen marched in a procession to the institution (quarrymen from Penrhyn Quarry and other quarries had subscribed more than 1,200 pounds to the university).

The foundation was the consequence of a push for better higher education in Wales, which included some competition amongst communities in North Wales over where the new college should be located.
