Philomath was named after the Philomath College which was founded in 1867 by the United Brethren Church. The college opened its doors in October of that year, with enrollment the first day at about 100. The first teachers were Joseph Hannon, who acted as principal, and Elisha Woodward, teacher in the primary department. The name of the college and city was derived from two Greek words meaning "lover of learning". The city was incorporated on October 20, 1882. The college closed in 1929 due to a dramatic decline in enrollment.
