Livingstone College and Hood Theological Seminary were originally founded as Zion Wesley Institute by a group of A.M.E. Zion ministers for the purpose of training ministers in the Cabarrus County town of Concord, North Carolina in 1879. The Rowan County town of Salisbury, just 20 miles northeast of Concord, gave the Trustees a generous donation of $1,000 and an invitation to relocate the school in Salisbury. They accepted both gifts, and the College re-opened in Salisbury in 1882 with Dr. Price as President. The new site was J. M. Gray’s farm called Delta Grove, which consisted of one building and 40 acres of land.

Today, Livingstone College’s new holistic learning approach is designed to prepare students to gain maturity and intellectual awareness, and motivation toward learning. The setting for this initiative “the Total Learning Environment” includes Technology, Spanish, Personal and Business Financial Literacy, Emergency Response and First Aid, Volunteerism and Public Service.
