National historical marker unveiled in 2014

DHVSU was established on November 4, 1861, [1] as Escuela de Artes y Oficios de Bacolor, a grammar school, by an Augustinian friar, Fr. Juan P. Zita, aided by civic leader Don Felino Gil on land donated by the Suarez family. [2] The school was renamed Don Honorio Ventura College of Arts and Trades (DHVCAT) in 1978 and was converted to a university and renamed Don Honorio Ventura Technological State University (DHVTSU) in 2009. [3] [4] [5] It is named after Honorio Ventura (July 30, 1887 – September 3, 1940), Governor of Pampanga.

President Rodrigo Duterte signed Republic Act 11169, which renamed Don Honorio Ventura Technological State University into Don Honorio Ventura State University. Renaming of the school was an idea of third District Congressman Aurelio Gonzales Jr.; he said that renaming of the university will bring about the modification of restrictive provisions of Republic Act (RA) 9832 and elevate the status of this higher education institution from a technological to a comprehensive university. Additional courses in the liberal arts, medical, and allied medical fields shall be offered in addition to those specified in Section 3 of RA 9832. [6]

In 2018, DHVSU was granted the ISO 9001-2015 Certification by The International Certification Network. One year after, the university was granted the SUC Level III status per Memorandum Order No. 09 series of 2019 of the Commission on Higher Education. [7] DHVSU main campus is located at Barangay Cabambangan, Municipality of Bacolor, Pampanga [8] and it has currently six satellite campuses located at Porac, Mexico, Santo Tomas, Lubao, Apalit and Candaba in the province of Pampanga. [9] [10] Its two satellite campuses, including Apalit and Candaba, have opened their classes in 2021. [11] [12]

On April, 2023 the DHVSU academic building was renamed "Okada Academic Building" after the Okada Foundation Inc. which donated P50 million for its renovation. It has 3 floors with 12 classrooms and a courtyard in Apalit. [13]

April, 2024,The Department of Public Works and Highways finished the construction of DHVSU's P107.03 million two 3-storey buildings with 8 classrooms at Barangay Malino, San Fernando, Pampanga Satellite campus. Aurelio Gonzales Jr. wbo donated the lot, said it will open to students this August, 2024. [14]
