Columbia University is a private Ivy League research university in New York City. It was established in 1754 as King's College by royal charter under George II of Great Britain, on the grounds of Trinity Church in Manhattan, which makes it the oldest institution of higher education in New York and the fifth-oldest in the United States. It took the name Columbia College in 1784 after the American Revolution, and became Columbia University when its campus moved to its present location in 1896.
