Founded in 1802 by Reverend Edmund Burke, Saint Marys University – SMU Halifax is the second oldest English-speaking and first Roman Catholic initiated university in Canada. With meagre resources Burke initiated instruction for young men at Glebe House, located on the corner of Halifax’s Spring Garden Road and Barrington Street. The Roman Catholic church founded Saint Marys University – SMU Halifax at Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1840.
In 1841 the Nova Scotia Legislature bestowed the degree granting charter to Saint Marys University – SMU Halifax and eleven years later granted the University formal legal status. After a great deal of uncertainty, in 1913 the Christian Brothers of Ireland were asked by the Archdiocese of Halifax to direct the college and academic programs. With this change of leadership the Saint Marys University – SMU Halifax reputation thrived as a Liberal Arts Institution and expanded its undergraduate programs, with the most notable being the Faculty of Commerce in 1934 (now known as the Sobey School of Business), which was the first of its kind in Canada. In 1940 the Upper Province of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) was invited to succeed the Christian Brothers as both administrators and faculty.
The next 30 years would see the Saint Marys University – SMU Halifax flourish under the Jesuit supervision, with such advancements as the formal recognition of the "college" as a University in 1952 and purchasing the first computer in Atlantic Canada (a Royal McBee LGP-30) in 1959. In 1970 the Jesuits formally incorporated the Saint Marys University – SMU Halifax under the "Acts of Incorporation" which gave all administrative and academic duties to the Board of Governors and Academic Senate.
Saint Marys University – SMU Halifax was established by the Saint Mary's University Act, 1970.

At the same time the Saint Marys University – SMU Halifax has expanded its campus facilities with noted additions of the Burke-Gaffney Observatory in the 1970s and the Sobey Building in 1998.
In 1992, the Faculty of Commerce was renamed the Sobey School of Business, after Frank H. Sobey, founder of Sobeys.
