Centenary College of Louisiana was an undergraduate college in Jackson, Louisiana. It was formed in the 1840s from a merger of the College of Louisiana in Jackson (established 1825) and Centenary College. Judge Edward McGehee (1786-1880), a planter and businessman of Wilkinson County, Mississippi, was instrumental in the founding of the college. In Woodville, Mississippi, he founded the Woodville Female Academy.
