History

Seevali College was founded as a Buddhist secondary school unconnected to any monastery in 1909 by Sir A. C. Artigala. It was initially located in a small house on Warakathota Road in Ratnapura. In 1925 the chief monk of Nadun Viharay in Ratnapura offered the property Sivali Garden to the school and in 1935 it was renamed Sivali College. With the introduction of the free education system by C. W. W. Kannangara, Sivali College became the Sivali Central College. It was the first Central College in Ratnapura district. It moved to Hidallana in 1955. Sivali Central College became a National College on 5 February 1992.
