[[Antioch College]] was founded in 1850 by the [[Christian Connection]], and began operating in 1853 with the distinguished scholar [[Horace Mann]] as its first president.{{citation needed|date=February 2022}}

In 1920, [[Arthur Ernest Morgan|Arthur E. Morgan]] became president of Antioch College; he was known for his innovations and implemented a much-imitated work-study program for students. An engineer by training, Morgan left Antioch to become head of the [[Tennessee Valley Authority]] during President [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]]'s administration. Upon his return to Yellow Springs, Morgan was a key leader of [[Quaker]] intentional community developments in Ohio and [[North Carolina]].{{citation needed|date=February 2022}}

In 1926, the Antioch Company was founded by two then-current Antioch College students as "The Antioch Bookplate Company".<ref>{{Cite web |title=History of the Antioch Company – FundingUniverse |url=http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/the-antioch-company-history/}}</ref> The company expanded to selling children's books, gifts, and craft products, In 2008, the company sold off its Antioch Publishing business, and focused the remaining business on the company's [[Creative Memories]] brand of custom framing and [[scrapbooking]] items.<ref>{{Cite web |date=March 6, 2008 |title=Antioch Co.

Antioch College expanded beginning in 1964, to include 38 "centers" around the country by the end of 1979. Its by-laws were changed to define Antioch as a "network", not a college, owned by [[Antioch University |Antioch University Corporation]]. In 1986, 32 of its units around the country were closed, leaving six campuses, which included both its original College campus in Yellow Springs and the college's School of Adult and Experiential Learning there. It operated separately as Antioch University McGregor. That adult and graduate education school was renamed as [[Antioch University Midwest]] in 1988.  It closed in late 2020.<ref>{{cite web |title=Antioch University Midwest absorbed, building for sale |url=https://ysnews.com/news/2020/10/antioch-university-midwest-absorbed-building-for-sale |accessdate=January 5, 2021 |newspaper=Yellow Springs News|date=October 15, 2020 }}</ref>

In 2008, citing financial exigency, the university closed the college campus in Yellow Springs. College alumni, forming the Antioch College Continuation Corporation, bought back the college's name and campus. They reopened in 2011 as the independent Antioch College.<ref name="NYT">{{cite news |last1=Donahue |first1=Bill |date=September 16, 2011 |title=Can Antioch College Return From the Dead Again? |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/18/magazine/can-antioch-college-return-from-the-dead-again.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all |access-date=July 15, 2012}}</ref>
