Wikipedia, May 23, 2013 (The Royal and Pontifical University of Mexico (in Spanish: Real y Pontificia Universidad de México) was founded on 21 September 1551 by Royal Decree signed by Charles I of Spain, in Valladolid, Spain. It is generally considered the first university officially founded in North America and second in the Americas. After the Mexican War of Independence (1810-1821) it was renamed University of Mexico. It was closed during the years 1833, 1857, 1861 and 1865; during the Second Mexican Empire, the University was reopened by Maximilian I of Mexico and, after the victory by the liberals in 1867, closed for good)
