About Gonzaga University

Gonzaga University is a private Catholic university located in Spokane, which is a city located in Northwestern Unites States, in the US State of Washington.

The name of Spokane, which was officially incorporated as a city in 1881, in Salish, means `Children of the Sun`, name which was drawn from the Native American tribe called Spokane.

Gonzaga University was founded in 1887, by Father Joseph Cataldo, SJ, who was an Italian-born priest, and missionary, who had a desire to create a Catholic school for Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest.
