History
Established in 1938 as the Graduate School of Public Administration, the school was named for the three-term New York City mayor Robert Ferdinand Wagner, Jr. in 1989 after receiving a major donation from the Wagner family. In 2004 Wagner relocated to the Puck Building, a famous New York City landmark in the city's SoHo neighborhood. In 2005, the school opened the John Brademas Center for the Study of Congress.
