Hartnell College is one of the oldest educational institutions in California. It was originally established in 1920 as Salinas Junior College and was renamed in 1948 after William Edward Petty Hartnell, who founded the first school in this region in 1834. The main campus, located in Salinas, was developed in 1936 and remains as the valued cultural and educational center of the Salinas Valley.
