HISTORICALLY independent, quintessentially NEW YORK. Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York was founded as a Presbyterian seminary in 1836 and established in lower Manhattan. In 1892, the Seminary became non-denominational, and continues as the oldest independent, non-denominational seminary in the U.S. In 1910, Union took occupancy of the newly constructed buildings where the Seminary still stands in Morningside Heights, between Broadway and Claremont Avenues, and 120th and 122nd Streets, along with McGiffert Hall, the adjacent residence building.
