==History== Geneva College was founded in 1848 in [[Northwood, Logan County, Ohio]], by John Black Johnston, a [[minister (Christianity)|minister]] of the [[Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America|RPCNA]]. The college was founded as "Geneva Hall", and was named after the [[Geneva|Swiss center]] of the [[Calvinism|Reformed faith movement]]. After briefly closing during the [[American Civil War]], the college continued operating in Northwood until 1880. By that time, the college leadership had begun a search for alternate locations that were closer to urban areas. After considering several locations in the [[Midwest]], the denomination chose the [[College Hill (Beaver Falls)|College Hill]] neighborhood of [[Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania]]. The college constructed its current campus on land donated by the [[Harmony Society]]. Old Main, the oldest building on campus, was completed in 1881. The Rapp Technical Design Center was completed in 2002. A major project to reroute [[Pennsylvania Route 18]], which runs through the campus, was completed in November 2007.<ref>[https://www.geneva.edu/news/2015/06/nr-spotlight-construction New Route 18 Open], Geneva College, 2007-11-19.
