Sir Auckland Colvin, K.C.M.G., C.I.E. (Lieutenant Governor of the N. W. Provinces) while functioning as Lieutenant Governor of Avadh and Agra during the year 1889, conceived the idea of a school with the object of imparting education to the wards of the court and sons of the Taluqdars' of Avadh. The 'wards' class, founded in 1884, formed the nucleus for the establishment of the Taluqdars' College.
The foundation of the College building, at its present site, was laid on 11th March, 1889 and the school became functional, after the Opening Ceremony in March 1892. The first Academic Session started on 12 May, 1892 with 16 students out of which 13 were Resident Scholars. Junior and Senior Cambridge classes began on 24 April, 1933.
Till 1933, the School was conducted exclusively for, and on behalf of, the Taluqdars' community, but, when it was recognized as an Intermediate (Arts) College, admissions were thrown open to all. In 1945 the college started classes in Intermediate Science with help of its Parent Body, the British Indian Association.
In 1982, the College got itself affiliated to the Council for Indian School Certificate Examination, New Delhi. Since then, students have been free to join any of the two streams that exist in the College.
