SUNY Delhi was originally incorporated into the SUNY State School System in 1913 and was originally a small farming school. It was not until the late 1920s that the school expanded into general education. The addition of dorms in the late 1920s allowed students to stay on campus. It was not until the 60s that the institution really came into shape offering more major studies from business and refrigeration to construction and veterinary studies, etc. It was at this time when Delhi truly began to take shape. As for future engagements, developers are planning a new dorm building, a gymnasium, renovation of existing facilities and new site development on school grounds until the year 2028+.
