Late Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar, the 1st Chief Minister and the architect of Himachal Pradesh perceived the importance of horticulture and forestry to develop and improve the State economy which led to the establishment of this University. Its history lies in erstwhile Himachal Agricultural College, Solan, established in 1962 and affiliated to the Panjab University, Chandigarh. It became one of the Agriculture campus of Himachal Pradesh University, Shimla on its formation in 1970. Consequent upon the establishment of Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur in 1978, this campus became its Horticulture Complex and finally in 1985, assumed the status of a State University, being the only University in the country engaged exclusively in teaching, research and extension in horticulture and forestry.
