The history of the University of Michigan traces back to the colonial era of New France, beginning as a system of Christian schools located at or near Fort Pontchartrain du Détroit. By the turn of the 19th century, following the Great Fire of 1805, parishioners, including students and teachers from these Christian schools whose schoolhouses were destroyed in the fire, formed a corporation known as the Église Catholique, Apostolique et Romaine de Sainte Anne du Detroit, under its rector, Gabriel Richard. After much agitation by Richard for the establishment of an "institution for higher learning," the territorial government created an entity in 1817 named the Catholepistemiad, or University of Michigania. This entity formed in 1817 is the direct legal antecedent of today's University of Michigan, as confirmed by a decision of the Michigan Supreme Court in January 1856, thereby making it the oldest institution of higher education in the State of Michigan.
