In the 1840s, the Universalist Church had a desire of opening a college in New England, and Charles Tufts helped in achieving this goal by donating 20 acres to the church in 1852. Charles Tufts had inherited the land, and this land was a barren hill and it was one of the highest points in the Boston area, which was called Walnut Hill. When asked by a family member what he intended to do with the land, he had said "I will put a light on it". His 20-acre donation, the value of which was $20000 then, is still at the heart of Tufts' which is now a 150 acre campus, straddling Somerville and Medford. It was also in 1852 that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts chartered Tufts College, noting that the college should promote "virtue and piety and learning in such of the languages and liberal and useful arts as shall be recommended". Ballou had spent a year travelling and studying in the United Kingdom during his tenure. The methods of instruction which were initiated by him were based on the tutorials and were conducted in the University of Oxford and the University of Edinburgh. Tufts is the third-oldest college in the Boston area and is now 160 years old.
A subsidiary of the university, Hines Interests and TUDC, planned to break ground on the South Station Tower in 2008. Tufts had acquired the air rights from South Station in 1990, with former President Jean Meyer envisioning a tower that would be the center of medical research. Cesar Pelli did the Preliminary design and its construction is scheduled to start in 2017. However, Tufts withdrew from the project in 2009.
On November 30, 2010, it was announced by the university  that the thirteenth president of this institution would be Anthony P. Monaco, formerly of Oxford. The inauguration of Monaco took place on October 21, 2011.
As of October 15, 2015, Computer Science became the largest major at the university and it surpassed international relations, with around 466 declared majors.
In 2016, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, for the creation of the Allen Discovery Centers at Tufts and Stanford, had pledged a $10 million donation over four years. The morphogenetic code could be read and written and easily researched by the fund which would be given by the centers. Michael Levin, the biologist of tufts, will lead the center with research. These research will focus mainly on communications between cells and the causation of traumatic injuries, birth defects, cancer and degenerative diseases.
