Girton College is one of the 31 constituent colleges of the University of Cambridge. The college was established in 1869 by Emily Davies and Barbara Bodichon as the first women's college in Cambridge. In 1948, it was granted full college status by the university, marking the official admittance of women to the university. In 1976, it was the first Cambridge women's college to become coeducational.

The main college site, situated on the outskirts of the village of Girton, about 2+1⁄2 miles northwest of the university town, comprises 33 acres of land. In a typical Victorian red-brick design, most was built by architect Alfred Waterhouse between 1872 and 1887.
