Founded as Buchtel College in 1870 by the Ohio Universalist Convention with support from local industrialist John R. Buchtel, the institution became a state university in 1967. The university's connection to Akron's rubber industry runs deep: it offered the world's first courses in rubber chemistry beginning in 1909, serving the needs of nearby Goodyear, Firestone, and Goodrich. Today the institution offers more than 200 degree programs to approximately 19,000 students. This unique postal designation has served the campus for over two decades.

Notably, 99% of residents (1,241 people) live in non-institutional group quarters, consistent with dormitory housing. The Census ACS data shows 45% government workers and 49% in educational/healthcare industries, both typical for a public university community.
