Founded by a local business syndicate,[2] Highland Park opened its doors in 1890.[3] At the time, Highland Park was an emerging northern suburb of the capital city. Enrollment climbed in its early years before a dip following the Panic of 1893; enrollment later stabilized around 2,000 students.
In 1918, the college merged with Des Moines College and Central University of Iowa to form a new Des Moines University on the Highland Park campus. That successor institute closed in 1929; today, the campus site has a shopping mall.
