Columbia University is a private university located in New York City. Founded in 1754, it is the oldest institution of higher learning in the State of New York, and is a member of the Ivy League.

Presently located in the Manhattan neighborhood of Morningside Heights, the university was founded as Kings College, having received its original charter from King George II of Great Britain. After the American Revolution, the college was granted a new charter by the State of New York, and was renamed Columbia College.
