Begun by one man in one room in a storefront in the historic center of Los Angeles, Woodbury University was founded 127 years ago. Woodbury’s Business College (as it was initially named) was founded by entrepreneur and education pioneer F.C. Woodbury, who came from a family of educators. In 1884, Los Angeles was a rapidly growing town with a population of approximately 35,000. New business enterprises were starting and community leaders looked forward to expansion and growth. Woodbury was established to service this growing business population. For the first 103 years, the university was located in central Los Angeles. Woodbury moved to its present 22.5-acre residential campus in Burbank in September 1987.
