Florida claims 1853, but in reality the school wasn't founded until 1906. The oldest building on campus was built in 1906.
So what happened for 53 years? That's a pretty big gap to be a mistake.

It is not a mistake, it is just that the UF we know today was the result of a merger of different state institutions when the state decided to reorganize the state university system. The founding date we use is from the oldest of the institutions that make up UF.
