Maritime was founded in 1918 by the Seneca Regent Honorade Théberge, to promote higher education in the nation, as it was heavily ignored by the former Onandaga-dominated civil government and thus made it inaccessible to the general public. The site chosen to house Maritime was situated in the Mohawk Nation, this was because the Mohawk were the second most prominant military figures in Haudenosaunee and the grande école scheme involved giving each nation a new university open to the public.
