a| Originally chartered as "Central Institute for Young Ladies," Littleton Female College first opened its doors in January 1882 to eleven students. Under the leadership of Reverend James Manly Rhodes, the physical plant of the school was greatly expanded in 1889, and by 1908 the institution had an enrollment of 285 pupils. In 1912 the name was again changed to Littleton College. Instruction included traditional domestic arts, mathematics, chemistry, physics, and biology. In January of 1919 a fire swept the entire complex and the school was not rebuilt. In 1926 the Littleton College Memorial Association was formed by a group of former students interested in keeping the spirit and memory of the institution alive.
