History
It was founded as the "College of Christ the King" in 1954, and was affiliated with St. Peter's Seminary. The name was changed to King's College in 1966 after it became affiliated with UWO; unlike Brescia and Huron, UWO's other affiliated colleges, King's did not initially adopt the "University College" name, to avoid confusion with the university of the same name in Edmonton. The current name for the campus was adopted in 2004.
