Stony Brook University was established in 1957 as a college for the preparation of secondary school teachers of mathematics and science; our first campus was located at Oyster Bay, Long Island, on the grounds of a former Gold Coast estate.

Part of the State University of New York system, Stony Brook now encompasses 123 buildings on 1,100 acres.
