Queens' College was first founded in 1448 by Margaret of Anjou. It was refounded in 1465 by Elizabeth Woodville, the wife of Edward IV of England. This is reflected in orthography of the popular name: Queens' instead of Queen's, although the full name is The Queen's College of St Margaret and St Bernard, commonly called Queens' College, in the University of Cambridge.

The 'Mathematical Bridge' connects the older half of the college (affectionately referred to by students as The Dark Side) with the newer half, and is one of the most photographed scenes in Cambridge (the typical photo being taken from the nearby Silver Street bridge). According to popular fable the bridge was originally designed and built by Sir Isaac Newton without the use of nuts or bolts, and at some point in the past students (or fellows, depending on which version you hear) attempted to take the bridge apart and put it back together. The myth continues that the over-ambitious engineers were unable to match Newton's feat of engineering, and had to resort to fastening the bridge by nuts and bolts. This is why nuts and bolts can presently be seen in the bridge. This story is false: the bridge was built in 1749 by James Essex the Younger (1722–1784) to the design of William Etheridge (1709–1776), 22 years after Newton died. It was later rebuilt in 1866 and 1905, albeit to the same design.
