History

UNAN-León has its roots in the Tridentine Seminary College of Saint Raymond (Spanish: Colegio Seminario Tridentino de San Ramón), established in the city of León in 1680. In 1812, UNAN-León became the second university in Central America and the last one established during the end of the Spanish colony on the continent of America.

By government decree in 1983, the campus of the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua in León and Managua, became two separate entities: UNAN and UNAN-León.[2]

gollark: You've really dashed my hopes of a giant computer army, though...
gollark: What if I make it log into them... and politely notify them of the problem?
