History
ZNU (the Ex Higher School for Agriculture & Animal Science) started its activities in 1975, on a formal basis.
In December 1975, as ratified by the state council, a land (with an area of 400 hectares) was dedicated by the Forestry Organization to ZNU for the purpose of educational as well as developmental and physical activities. On February 20, 1976 Zanjan higher school for Agriculture & Animal Science started its work under new title Zanjan Agriculture & Animal Science College while it enhanced its Agriculture & Animal Science Courses to a BS Level.
Regarding the Council for the Expansion of Higher Education agreement (April 25, 1987) on enrolling students in the Engineering college, the council agreed to alter the Zanjan A&AS college title to the center for higher education on May 8, 1987 (including Engineering and Agriculture colleges).
Following this the science and humanities colleges were established in 1990 & 1991, respectively, and lastly the Ministry of Culture and Higher Education agreed to change the center for higher school in Zanjan to University of Zanjan.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“What you don’t understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“American time has stretched around the world. It has become the dominant tempo of modern history, especially of the history of Europe.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
