The school's name has changed over the years as it has focused on additional areas of study. First named the "Danbury Normal School" (also known as the "Danbury State Normal School"), the school changed its name twice in the 1930s: it became the "Danbury Unit of the Teachers College of Connecticut" in 1933 and then the "Danbury State Teachers College" in 1937. The college was renamed "Danbury State College" in 1959, "Western Connecticut State College" in 1967, and, finally, "Western Connecticut State University" in 1983. In 2011, governance of the university was transferred to the Connecticut State Colleges & Universities system.
