history

The university has its origins in the agriculture course founded by Enomoto Takeaki in 1891 at the Ikuei School of the Tokugawa Ikueikai Foundation ( 徳 川 育 英 会 育 英 黌 農業 科 , Tokugawa ikueikai Ikuei-kō nōgyō-ka ). The agricultural course became an independent school in 1893 - the Tokyo Agricultural School. In 1901 it was renamed Private Tokyo Higher Agricultural School, and in 1903 it was recognized as a technical school. In 1911 it was renamed the Tokyo Private Agricultural College ( 私立 東京 農業 大学 , Shiritsu Tōkyō nōgyō daigaku ). In 1925 she received university status and renamed herself the Tokyo Agricultural University. It was the first private agricultural university in Japan.

It lost its school buildings (in Tokiwamatsu, Shibuya ) during the Pacific War in 1945 and moved to today's Setagaya campus in 1946. She opened a new farm in Atsugi ( Kanagawa Prefecture ) in 1960 , and the Ohōtsuku Campus in Abashiri ( Hokkaidō Prefecture ) in 1989 . In 1998 the agricultural faculty moved to the Atsugi campus.
