Founded in 1972, Five Towns College holds an Absolute Charter issued by the New York State Board of Regents. The college's name comes from the original proposed campus, which was to be in Lawrence in southwestern Nassau County, New York, an area known as "The Five Towns". However, the college never opened in that location. Its first campus was in Merrick, New York. Its second campus was in Seaford, New York. The college acquired its permanent home in Dix Hills in 1992 and relocated there for the fall 1992 semester.
