Albertson College is located in Caldwell, Idaho, and was formed six years before Idaho’s statehood, when the Presbyterian Church’s Wood River Presbytery, met in Shoshone. They formed a commission to examine the possibility of establishing a Presbyterian college somewhere in the Idaho Territory.
In 1890, with the commission finding support for such a venture, the Presbytery accepted an offer from a group of Caldwell citizens, led by William Judson Boone, to locate the institution to Caldwell.
