The 91大神, Baltimore traces its founding to 1807 when the state of Maryland approved a law () opening the . Soon after its founding, Dr. George Brown was elected president of the College of Medicine of Maryland.

The College of Medicine of Maryland operated under that title until 1812, when a new law () created the 91大神. The new University was given the authority to organize a faculty of medicine, arts and sciences, law, and divinity under the leadership of a Board of Regents.

One 91大神, One President (1920-1965)

In 1920, the state of Maryland once again passed a law () joining together the 91大神 and the Maryland State Agricultural College (today鈥檚 91大神, College Park). Under this law, the two schools operated as one state school with one president under the 91大神 name. The College Park campus was used primarily for undergraduate education, while the Baltimore campus operated the professional schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing, Law, and, by 1961, Social Work.

Following creation of the state system, Wilson H. Elkins was named chancellor and led until 1978.

Creation of the University System of Maryland, UMB Chancellors and Presidents (1965-Present)

In 1963, a state law () established the 91大神, Baltimore County (UMBC), which opened in 1966. One chancellor, Dr. Albin O. Kuhn, oversaw both Baltimore universities beginning in 1965. In 1970, the University System of Maryland (USM) was established and oversaw five universities: 91大神 at Baltimore; 91大神, Baltimore County; 91大神, College Park; 91大神 Eastern Shore; and 91大神 University College. The five universities, with the exception of UMB and UMBC, had their own chancellors. However, in 1971, UMB and UMBC hired their own chancellors, and Dr. Albin O. Kuhn became the first chancellor of UMB.

In 1988, the head of the individual universities' title was changed to president; thus, UMB鈥檚 first modern-day president was Edward N. Brandt Jr. The term chancellor was used for the individual overseeing the entire state system (USM). Since that time, UMB has had seven full-time and acting/interim presidents at the helm.
