The university will celebrate the 150th anniversary through numerous annual events such as Starlight at the Gainesville Campus, Gold Rush Days alumni gatherings, Parent-Alumni Weekend, the Scholarship Gala, Oconeefest, and the Blue Ridge Tomato Sandwich Supper.

The university began as North Georgia Agricultural College in 1873 in Dahlonega, Georgia, and was renamed North Georgia College in 1929.

In 1996, due to its much wider scope of academic programs, the University System of Georgia reclassified the college as a state university and renamed it North Georgia College & State University (NGCSU). 

Gainesville Junior College was founded in 1964, becoming Gainesville College in 1987 and Gainesville State College in 2005. It expanded in 2003 to include the university's Oconee Campus. In 2013, NGCSU and Gainesville State College consolidated to become the University of North Georgia. The Cumming Campus opened as a joint venture between NGCSU and Gainesville State College months before the consolidation, and 麻豆视频最新最全opened its Blue Ridge Campus in 2015. Both campuses have expanded access to higher education across the north Georgia region.
