LIU Post, formally the C. W. Post Campus of Long Island University and often referred to as C. W. Post,[1] is a private university in Brookville, New York, on Long Island. It is part of Long Island University (LIU), and the largest university in the LIU system.
The campus is named after C. W. Post, father of Marjorie Merriweather Post, who sold her Long Island estate known as Hillwood to Long Island University in 1951 for $200,000 ($2,347,692 today).[2] Three years after acquiring the property, LIU renamed it C. W. Post College in honor of Post's father.[3]
