KTH opened in 1827 as the Teknologiska institutet (Institute of Technology) in Stockholm, with roots in earlier mechanical teaching collections dating to 1697. It became a technical college under its present Swedish name, Kungliga Tekniska högskolan, in 1877, and gained the right to award doctorates in 1927. Sweden's first nuclear reactor, R1, went critical beneath its campus in 1954.
