After years of active lobbying by a group of Hamilton residents who were keen to establish a university in their city, the University of Waikato finally opened its doors in 1964. Facilities were initially lacking, but in early 1965, new structures were formally inaugurated by the governor-general at the time, Sir Bernard Fergusson. Vice-Chancellor Sir Don Llewellyn served as the first.
The university with the quickest growth rate in New Zealand by the 1980s was Waikato. In 1987, the thriving Department of Computing and Mathematical Sciences was promoted to a School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences due to the growing popularity of computer science as a field of study.

The Ngti Wairere and Ngti Hau of Tainui once lived on the site where the University’s Hamilton campus now stands. Following the Waikato Land Wars, the colonial government took over a large portion of this territory in 1864, a move that was later deemed to violate the Treaty of Waitangi.
