History
Delgado Community College, located in New Orleans, Louisiana, was founded in 1921 and named for its Benefactor Isaac Delgado, a Jamaican Immigrant and businessman who provided the funds to open a manual trade school for young boys. Over time the mission and name of the school changed, expanding its offerings and role in the community until the mid 1970's when the school was transferred from city to state control and had its name changed to its current. Delgado is now Louisiana's oldest and largest community college, providing an array of programs across multiple campuses to serve the city of New Orleans.
