The Church Mission Society (CMS) with the assistance of Sir Herbert Edwardes, the British commissioner of Peshawar, established Edwardes College in 1900 in the most beautiful part of the Peshawar Cantonment. The institution was named Edwardes in recognition of the commissioner's meritorious contribution. Symmetrical and balanced, the Mughal-style buildings amidst sprawled lush green lawns symbolizing rich cultural heritage of the region were designed by its first Principal, the Reverend J. H. Hoare. The Principal's bungalow remarkable for its unadorned beauty in style is the oldest building that was bought in 1885, long before founding of the college, by the CMS as the centre for its local work.

The college started its educational services in 1900 in the Province. Since then it has been a worthy seat of learning and has produced icons and idols in different walks of life. Its efforts never went unappreciated and is graced with visits and commendations from dignitaries of their times. Flanked by Principal, Rev. Dalaya and Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan (Bacha Khan), Mahatma Gandhi visited Edwardes college on May 18, 1933. During the same era, distinguished visitors to the college included Liaquat Ali Khan (First Prime Minister to Pakistan), Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru (First Prime Minister to India), Khawaja Nazimuddin (Second Governor General and later second Prime Minister to Pakistan), and Dr. Khan Sahib (First Chief Minister to the then N.W.F.P now Khyber Pukhtunkhwa Province). Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, founder of the nation, visited this institution thrice specifically asking students ?to keep your heads up as citizens of a free and independent sovereign state? in his visit on April 18, 1948.
