Founded as LaGrange College on January 11, 1830 by the Methodist Church, it was the first state-chartered college in Alabama. The institution relocated to Florence in 1854, was re-incorporated as Florence Wesleyan University, and in 1872 became the State Normal School at Florence when the Methodist Church deeded it to the state. This made it the first state-supported teachers' college south of the Ohio River. The USPS assigned this unique postal designation before 2004.

Known previously as Florence State Teachers College (1929), Florence State College (1957), and Florence State University (1968), the institution adopted its current name in 1974.
