Named for John Wesley, the founder of Methodism,

The Methodist movement originated in England in the 1720s and was particularly important for its early emphasis on social service and education. From its inception,
Wesleyan University - Middletown offered a liberal arts program rather than theological training. Ties to the Methodist church, which were particularly strong in the earliest years and from the 1870s to the 1890s, waxed and waned throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. Wesleyan University became fully independent of the Methodist church in 1937.

Judd Hall may be the first building dedicated to the sciences on any American college campus.
