The Founders of the Fergusson College had first started the New English School, Pune in 1880 and later established the Deccan Education Society (DES) in 1884.
The college held these classes, for almost ten years, in the old Gadre Wada and other locations in Poona. A plot of about 37 acres (a portion of the present extensive campus) was acquired on a 99 years' lease in 1891 by the DES. The foundation stone of the Main building of the Fergusson College, was laid in 1892 and the building was completed in 1895. The college started functioning on this campus in 1895. From then onwards, the college has grown from strength to strength and acquired a reputation as a nation-building institution.
Fergusson College is located in the heart of Pune city on an area of 65 acres that is scenic and serene. It is surrounded by several academic institutes, in its immediate vicinity. The Fergusson College road has a large density of restaurants, hotels and recreational centers, which are a great convenience to the students, faculty and parents.
