Abstract:

Gardner-Webb College was a junior college located in the town King's Mountain. The institution began as Boiling Springs High School which through time became a Baptist organized junior college by the same name. Close to financial foreclosure, the college remained open because Judge Yates Webb, on the Board of Trustees for Wake Forest, and Governor Oliver Max Gardner contributed funds and thus was renamed for its benefactors.
