St 1869, c 420 established the State Board of Health and Vital Statistics, generally known as the State Board of Health. It was abolished by St 1879, c 291, which transferred its functions to the State Board of Health, Lunacy, and Charity. St 1886, c 101 renamed that body the State Board of Lunacy and Charity and reestablished the State Board of Health. The board was succeeded in turn by the State Department of Health (St 1914, c 792) amd the Department of Public Health (St 1919, c 350, s 96).

The department's Bureau of Environmental Sanitation (St 1950, c 580, item 2015) was transferred to the Department of Environmental Quality Engineering by St 1974, c 608.
