The University of Iowa was originally named The State University of Iowa, and this remains the institution's legal name. The State University of Iowa was founded February 25, 1847 as Iowa's first public institution of higher learning, only 59 days after Iowa became a state. Despite its legal name, it is not to be confused with Iowa State University.

The first faculty offered instruction at The University of Iowa in March 1855 to students in the Old Mechanics Building, situated where Seashore Hall is now. In September 1855, there were 124 students, of whom forty-one were women. The 1856–57 catalogue listed nine departments offering Ancient Language, Modern Language, Intellectual Philosophy, Moral Philosophy, History, Natural History, Mathematics, Natural Philosophy, and Chemistry. The first President was Leigh S. J. Hunt.

The original campus was composed of The University of Iowa Old Capitol Building and the 10 acres (40,000 m2) of land on which it stood. Following the placing of the cornerstone July 4, 1840, the building housed the Fifth Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Iowa (December 5, 1842) and then became the first capitol of the State of Iowa (December 28, 1846). Until that date it had been the third capitol of the Territory of Iowa. When the capitol of Iowa was moved to Des Moines in 1857, Old Capitol became the first permanent "home" of The University of Iowa.

In 1855, Iowa became the first public university in the United States to admit men and women on an equal basis. Additionally, The University of Iowa was the world's first University to accept creative work in theater, writing, music, and art on an equal basis with academic research. The University of Iowa was one of the first institutions in America to grant a law degree to a woman (Mary B. Hickey Wilkinson, 1873), to grant a law degree to an African American (G. Alexander Clark, 1879), and to put an African American on a varsity athletic squad (Frank Holbrook, 1895). The University of Iowa offered its first doctoral degree in 1898.

Iowa established the first law school west of the Mississippi River, and was also the first to use television in education (1932) and pioneered the field of standardized testing. Additionally, Iowa was the first Big Ten institution to promote an African American to an administrative vice president’s position (Dr. Phillip Hubbard, promoted in 1966).

The University of Iowa main campus is located in Iowa City, originally designed by architect D. Elwood Cook, with the campus bordered by Park Road to the north and Dubuque and Gilbert Streets roughly to the east. U.S. Highway 6 traverses the university campus. The Iowa River flows through the campus dividing it into west and east sides. Of architectural note is the Pentacrest at the center of The University of Iowa campus. The Pentacrest is the location of five major campus buildings: Old Capitol, Schaeffer Hall, MacLean Hall, Macbride Hall, and Jessup Hall. The Old Capitol was once the primary government building for the state of Iowa, but it is now a museum of Iowa history.

Also on the eastern side of campus includes five residence halls (Burge, Daum, Stanley, Currier, and Mayflower), the Iowa Memorial Union, the Pappajohn Business Building, the Seamans Center for the engineering arts and sciences, the Lindquist Center (home of the College of Education), Phillips Hall (home of foreign languages) and Van Allen Hall (home to physics and astronomy)as well as the buildings for biology, chemistry, geology & environmental sciences, psychology, communications, journalism and the English-Philosophy Building. The University of Iowa Main Library can also be found on the East Side.

The Colleges of Law, Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, Pharmacy, and Public Health are on the western bank of the Iowa River, along with The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, the Theatre Building and Voxman Music Building. Additionally, five residence halls (Hillcrest, Slater, Reinow, Quadrangle, and Parklawn), Kinnick Stadium, and Carver-Hawkeye Arena are located on the west campus. The Oakdale Campus, which is home to some of The University of Iowa research facilities and the driving simulator, is located north of Interstate 80 in adjacent Coralville.

The flood of 2008 had a major impact on a number of campus buildings, forcing many building to temporarily close. The Iowa Memorial Union was closed for a period of time, and the ground floor of this building is still closed as it undergoes renovation. The arts campus, which includes Hancher, Voxman and Clapp, and the Theatre Building, was hit especially hard. The theatre building has since reopened, but the music facilities have not. Music classes were for a short time held in temporary trailers, and now music classrooms are spread throughout campus. Recently, a The University of Iowa task force suggested to state regents that Hancher be rebuilt near its current site on the West bank of the Iowa River and Voxman and Clapp be built nearer to the main campus on South Clinton Street.lowa is one of 60 elected members to the Association of American Universities.

The University of Iowa is currently home to ISCABBS, an aging public bulletin board system that was the largest Internet community in the world prior to the commercialization of the world wide web.
The University of Iowa is also the home to the National Advanced Driving Simulator (a virtual reality driving simulator.) Much of the student night-life in Iowa City is centered around the pedestrian mall, the "ped mall" which contains numerous restaurants, local shops/boutiques, and over thirty bars of different styles for every personality. Another popular university event that draws both students and also a vast number of residents from the community is home football games. Students of the university cheer and support their team while dressed in black and gold, the university's school colors. A common activity that many students engage in is tailgating, which many students begin promptly as the sun rises. In addition, there are hundreds of student organizations, including groups focused on politics, sports, games, lifestyles, dance, song, and theater, and a variety of other activities.

The University of Iowa also tries to sponsor events that give students an alternative to the typical drinking scene. In 2004 the University established an annual $25,000 contract with the newly reopened Iowa City Englert Theatre to host concerts and performances for as many as 40 nights a year. Students also participate in a variety of student media organizations. Students put together the Daily Iowan (often called the DI), which is printed every Monday through Friday while classes are in session. Daily Iowan TV, KRUI radio, Student Video Productions, Off Deadline magazine and Earthwords magazine are other examples of student-run media.

Many The University of Iowa alumni have achieved fame and reputation after graduating. These people include athletes, actors, entrepreneurs, scientists, to technological innovators. From its Iowa Writers' Workshop, the University boasts a number of Pulitzer Prizes winners (most recently Writer's Workshop faculty member Marilynne Robinson for her novel Gilead in 2005), as well as numerous National Book Awards and other major literary honors.
