North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, the nation's largest historically Black university, operates under dedicated ZIP code 27411 in Guilford County, North Carolina. Founded on March 9, 1891, as the Agricultural and Mechanical College for the Colored Race, A&T was the second land-grant college established under the Morrill Act of 1890 and the first institution of higher education for Black North Carolinians. The university relocated from Shaw University in Raleigh to Greensboro in 1892 after local leaders offered $11,000 and 14 acres of land. The USPS has maintained this dedicated postal designation for over two decades.
A&T holds a distinguished place in civil rights history. On February 1, 1960, four A&T freshmen (Ezell Blair Jr., Franklin McCain, Joseph McNeil, and David Richmond) staged the movement's first lunch counter sit-in at a segregated Woolworth's in downtown Greensboro. Their actions sparked similar protests throughout the South. Today the university enrolls over 14,000 students and became the first public HBCU to surpass $200 million in endowment. U.S. News & World Report has ranked it the top public HBCU since 2018.
