Horowhenua College has its origins in Levin School, a primary school established in 1890. It was the first school in the Levin area.[5] Levin School incorporated a high school from 1905 until 1939, when it returned to primary only ahead of the opening of Horowhenua College.[6]
The main building of the college, known as A Block, is registered as a historic place by Heritage New Zealand.[7]
