About Huron University College

Huron University College was founded Huron College on May 5, 1863 by Benjamin Cronyn and Isaac Hellmuth, as a low church alternative to the Anglo-Catholic University of Trinity College. It is one of the oldest university communities in Canada and founding college of the University of Western Ontario. Through its affiliation with Western, Huron offers a small, undergraduate-focused campus with full access to a major research university.
