Western Branch of Kansas State Normal School which is now known as Emporia State University. The institution was originally located on the grounds of Fort Hays, a frontier military outpost that was closed in 1888. The university served the early settlers' needs for educational facilities in the new region. The first building closer, at which time the university moved to its present location. The modern campus is still located on a portion of the former military reservation . The normal school was supposed to be supported in part by the agricultural experiment station. For years In March 2014, it was announced that Dodge City Community College might become part of Fort Hays State University under a proposal that would create the first public four-year degree-granting college in southwest Kansas. The college would then be known as Fort Hays State University at Dodge City if the plan is approved by the Kansas Board of Regents. Fort Hays faculty might teach other four-year programs in Dodge City, while courses typically taken by college freshmen and sophomores would remain the same. The proposal would also require $10 million to build a technical institute and $5 million per year in state funding.If the Board of Regents approve it, then it must also be approved by the state Legislature and the governor.
On 2014, the community college's Board of Trustees voted on a proposal that recommended that Fort Hays become an upper division college and technical institute in Dodge City, with the Dodge City college remaining independent. With this vote, the merger has collapsed and will not happen.
