SUNY Oswego was founded in 1861 as the "Oswego Primary Teachers Training School" by Edward Austin Sheldon,{{cite web|url=http://www.oswego.edu/administration/provost/fpsh/fps_handbook_sec1.html|title=Section 1 - History and governance - Human Resources|website=www.oswego.edu|access-date=3 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140710145416/http://www.oswego.edu/administration/provost/fpsh/fps_handbook_sec1.html|archive-date=2014-07-10|url-status=dead}} who introduced a revolutionary teaching methodology Oswego Movement in American education. In 1942 the New York Legislature elevated it from a normal school to a degree-granting teachers' college, Oswego State Teachers College, which was a founding and charter member of the State University of New York system in 1948. In 1962 the college broadened its scope to become a liberal arts college.

Most of the campus is in the Town of Oswego,{{cite web|url=https://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/DC2020/DC20BLK/st36_ny/cousub/cs3607555585_oswego/DC20BLK_CS3607555585.pdf|title=2020 CENSUS - CENSUS BLOCK MAP: Oswego town, NY|publisher=U.S. Census Bureau|access-date=2024-10-18|quote=State University of New York College at Oswego}} including the census-designated place.{{cite web|url=https://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/DC2020/DC20BLK/st36_ny/place/p3672327_suny_oswego/DC20BLK_P3672327.pdf|title=2020 CENSUS - CENSUS BLOCK MAP: SUNY Oswego CDP, NY|publisher=U.S. Census Bureau|access-date=2024-10-18|quote=State University of New York College at Oswego}} Portions of the campus are in Oswego City.{{cite web|url=https://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/DC2020/DC20BLK/st36_ny/place/p3655574_oswego/DC20BLK_P3655574.pdf|title=2020 CENSUS - CENSUS BLOCK MAP: Oswego city, NY|publisher=U.S. Census Bureau|access-date=2024-10-18|quote=State University of New York College at Oswego}}

Founded in the city of Oswego, the university was created to train teachers to meet pressing educational needs. SUNY Oswego moved to its current location on the shore of Lake Ontario in 1913 after Sheldon Hall was constructed.{{cite news|url=https://www.syracuse.com/schools/2023/01/suny-oswego-changes-name-after-being-recognized-as-a-university.html|title=SUNY Oswego changes name after being recognized as a university|work=syracuse Post-Standard|access-date=5 January 2023|archive-date=5 January 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230105140556/https://www.syracuse.com/schools/2023/01/suny-oswego-changes-name-after-being-recognized-as-a-university.html|url-status=live}} The current campus is located on {{convert|690|acre|km2}} along Lake Ontario. Development of the campus was planned by the architectural firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, who designed the major buildings.

The campus today consists of 46 buildings with classrooms, laboratories, residential and athletic facilities.{{cite web |title=Student Life |url=https://ww1.oswego.edu/student-life |website=ww1.oswego.edu |publisher=SUNY Oswego}} Recent years have witnessed the launch of a $700 million campus-wide renovation and renewal program, with the new Campus Center acting as the social hub of campus.{{cite web |url=https://www.oswego.edu/facilities-services/hewitt-hall-renovation-and-groundbreaking-ceremony |website=oswego.edu |title=Hewitt Hall Renovation | SUNY Oswego }}

The university's social hub, known as the Marano Campus Center Complex, opened in the fall of 2007, and includes new construction and renovation of the existing Swetman/Poucher complex.

The university offers 14 intercollegiate varsity sports. SUNY Oswego's athletic teams are known officially as the Great Lakers but often referred to simply as the Lakers. Oswego is a member of NCAA Division III and teams compete in the State University of New York Athletic Conference for most sports.

Oswego is traditionally a rival of Plattsburgh State. The rivalry currently manifests mostly in ice hockey; in the 1990s and early 2000s, Oswego fans would regularly throw bagels onto the ice when the Lakers scored against Plattsburgh, responding to a tradition where Plattsburgh fans threw tennis balls on the rink after goals versus Oswego. The tradition ended in 2006, after Oswego was assessed a delay of game penalty for the bagel throw: Plattsburgh scored on the ensuing power-play to win the game, which cost the Lakers a national tournament berth. In addition, the Campus Center arena was opened that year which allowed the university to more closely monitor and shut down fans who brought in bagels.{{cite web | title = The Tradition Is Dead | publisher = PSTValumni.com | url = http://www.pstvalumni.com/blog/2008/01/tradition-is-dead.php | access-date = February 4, 2008 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080326183608/http://www.pstvalumni.com/blog/2008/01/tradition-is-dead.php | archive-date = March 26, 2008 | url-status = dead | df = mdy-all }}{{cite web | title = Insider Fan Blog | publisher = CardinalHockeyInsider.com | url = http://www.cardinalhockeyinsider.com/blog/blog3.html | access-date = February 4, 2008 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080326212538/http://www.cardinalhockeyinsider.com/blog/blog3.html | archive-date = March 26, 2008 | url-status = dead | df = mdy-all }}

The "Puck Flattsburgh" spoonerism is a common rallying cry.{{cite web|url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/336609-puck-flattsburgh-oswego-beats-plattsburgh-3-2/|title=Puck Flattsburgh: Oswego beats Plattsburgh 3-2|first=Steven|last=Petty|website=bleacherreport.com|access-date=3 April 2018|archive-date=3 April 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150403204414/http://bleacherreport.com/articles/336609-puck-flattsburgh-oswego-beats-plattsburgh-3-2/|url-status=live}} Oswego and Plattsburgh also had a rivalry in football, but Oswego ceased sponsoring the sport in 1976, with Plattsburgh following in 1978.

On March 18, 2007, the Oswego State men's ice hockey team won the 2006–07 NCAA Division III ice hockey National Championship, the first NCAA championship ever for the school.{{cite web|publisher=College Hockey Stats|url=http://www.collegehockeystats.net/0607/schedules/oswm|title=2006-07 Oswego State Men's Hockey Schedule & Results|access-date=2008-02-06|archive-date=2008-08-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080830070955/http://www.collegehockeystats.net/0607/schedules/oswm|url-status=live}}
