History

David A. Sinclair founded Sinclair Community College in 1887 with a mission to "find the need and endeavor to meet it." When the school was founded, classes were offered through the YMCA.

Bookkeeping and mechanical drawing were taught to an all-male student body. By 1910, the curriculum was much broader and the "YMCA College" moved to a larger building. In 1929, the YMCA moved to an even larger building, to support its expanding curriculum that included the Dayton Law School and the Dayton Technical School.

The YMCA College was renamed "Sinclair College" in 1948 in honor of its founder, David A. Sinclair, the Secretary of Dayton YMCA from 1874 to 1902.  By 1959, Sinclair College was still housed in the YMCA buildings, but was independently operated as an institution of higher learning under the jurisdiction of the State of Ohio. In 1966, Ohio crated the Montgomery County Community College District and Sinclair College officially became a community college.

The school acquired 20 acres of land in Dayton Ohio in the late 1960s, and by 1972 the original seven buildings on the new Sinclair Community College campus were completed and ready for operation.
