Since being established by an act of the Baltimore City Council in 1839, hundreds of influential civic, political, business, commercial, industrial, and cultural leaders have passed through its doors. Many graduates of City College have served as members of the United States Congress and the Maryland General Assembly, federal and circuit judges, award-winning journalists; leaders in business, commerce, the military, the sciences, and the arts. This list includes three former Governors of Maryland and recipients of the Nobel Prize, the Pulitzer Prize, and the Wolf Prize.
