St. George&#39;s University was founded on July 23, 1976, by an act of Grenada&#39;s Parliament. The name is taken from the capital city of Grenada. The original founders were Charles Modica, Louis Modica, Edward McGowan, and Patrick F. Adams. Classes at St. George&rsquo;s School of Medicine began on January 17, 1977. Almost all of the founding faculty members had been educated either in the United States or Europe. 
A Revolution forcibly (albeit bloodlessly) overturned the Gairy dictatorship of Grenada in 1979, as the school was in its infancy with a student enrollment of 630. There were nearly 1,000 Americans on the island (including students, faculty, families, etc.). The U.S. government launched Operation Urgent Fury in 1983 as a result. Students were evacuated and classes were moved to Long Island, New York; New Jersey, and Barbados temporarily until 1984.
