The origins of the campus date back to 1907 when, by act of the legislature, the Citrus Experiment Station was established in Riverside to conduct research on the agricultural problems of Southern California. In 1954, the College of Letters and Science opened for classes. In 1959, UCR became a general campus with graduate and professional studies, as well as the liberal arts.
