In 1914, the private Jinling University set up the first four-year agricultural department, the first four-year university of higher agricultural education in China, and in 1930, the agricultural department was expanded to become the College of Agriculture of Jinling University. [1]

In 1949, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the College of Agriculture of the former private Jinling University was renamed as the College of Agriculture of the public Jinling University, and the College of Agriculture of the former National Central University was renamed as the College of Agriculture of the National University of Nanjing. Wheat genetic breeding experts Jin Shanbao became the first chairman. In 1960s, the college was identified by the State Council as one of the country's two key agricultural colleges and universities.[2] In 1972 January, the school moved to Yangzhou, and the then north of Jiangsu Agricultural College merged with the establishment of Jiangsu Agricultural College. In February 1979, approved by the State Council, Nanjing Agricultural College in the original site of the resumption of schooling, included in the Ministry of Agriculture under the national key universities.[3]

In July 1984, approved by the Ministry of Education, Nanjing Agricultural College was renamed Nanjing Agricultural University. in December 1998, Nanjing Agricultural University officially entered the national "Project 211" key construction of universities. In February 2000, the university was transferred from the Ministry of Agriculture to the Ministry of Education for direct management.[4][5]
