The history of Bates College began shortly before Bates College's founding on March 16,1855,in Lewiston,Maine. The college was founded by Oren Burbank Cheney and Benjamin Bates. Originating as a Free Will Baptist institution,it has since secularized and established a liberal arts curriculum. After the mysterious 1853 burning of Parsonsfield Seminary,Cheney wanted to create another seminary in a more central part of Maine:Lewiston,a then-booming industrial economy. He met with religious and political leaders in Topsham,to discuss the formation of such a school,recruiting much of the college's first trustees,most notably Ebenezer Knowlton. After a well-received speech by Cheney,the group successfully petitioned the Maine State Legislature to establish the Maine State Seminary. At its founding it was the first coeducational college in New England. Soon after it was established,donors stepped forward to finance the seminary,developing the school in an affluent residential district of Lewiston. The college struggled to finance its operations after the financial crisis of 1857,requiring extra capital to remain afloat. Cheney's political activities attracted Benjamin Bates,who was interested in fostering his business interests in Maine. Bates donated installments of tens of thousands of dollars to the college to bring it out of the crisis.
