Draft:West Kentucky Industrial College

West Kentucky Industrial College was started in 1909 but the first building cornerstone was not laid until 1911. Dennis H. Anderson the founder and president from 1909 to 1937, first attempted to get the college accepted as a state institution in 1912, but it was not accepted until 1918. In 1938 the college merged with Kentucky State.

A historical marker was erected in 1973 by the Kentucky Historical Society and the Kentucky Department of Highways.
