The campus is named after breakfast cereal inventor Charles William Post, father of Marjorie Merriweather Post, who sold the property (which had been her Long Island estate known as Hillwood) to Long Island University in 1951 for $200,000 ($2,347,692 today).[2] Three years after it acquired the property, LIU renamed it C. W. Post College in honor of Post's father.[3]
