Santa Fe College

Santa Fe Community College was established by the Florida Legislature in 1965 in response to a request from the Alachua and Bradford County Boards of Public Instruction, which had canvassed the area and learned that the community would be well served if all citizens have the opportunity for an education. Although the original name of the school was Santa Fe Junior College,[3] the name was changed to Santa Fe Community College in 1972.[4] The name sometimes caused confusion with the similarly-named college in Santa Fe, New Mexico.[5]
