April 1851 CE

Santa Clara College is chartered in Santa Clara, California, on April 28, 1851.

The Bishop of Monterey, Dominican Joseph Sadoc Alemany, had offered the site to Italian Jesuits John Nobili and Michael Accolti in 1851 on condition that they found a college for California's growing Catholic population when it becomes part of the United States following the Mexican–American War (1846–48).
