Stuyvesant Town–Peter Cooper Village is a large, post-World War II private residential development on the east side of the New York City borough of Manhattan. The complex consists of 110 red brick apartment buildings on an 80-acre tract stretching from First Avenue to Avenue C, between 14th and 23rd Streets. Stuyvesant Town–Peter Cooper Village is split up into two parts: Stuyvesant Town, south of 20th Street, Peter Cooper Village, north of 20th Street. Together, the two developments contain 11,250 apartments. Stuyvesant Town–Peter Cooper Village was planned beginning in 1942 and opened its first building in 1947, it replaced the Gas House district of gas storage tanks. The complex has been sold multiple times, most in 2015 when it was sold to Ivanhoé Cambridge and Blackstone for $5.45 billion. Stuyvesant Town–Peter Cooper Village is part of Manhattan Community District 6 and its primary ZIP Codes are 10009 and 10010, it is patrolled by the 13th Precinct of the New York City Police Department.

Stuyvesant Town–Peter Cooper Village is bounded by First Avenue on the west, 23rd Street on the north, Avenue C on the east, 14th Street on the south. The complex covers about 80 acres of land including parkland. Stuyvesant Town–Peter Cooper Village contains 11,250 apartments in 110 buildings; the buildings south of 20th Street are known as Stuyvesant Town, or "Stuy Town". They were named after Peter Stuyvesant, the last director-general of the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam, whose farm occupied the site in the 17th century; the buildings north of 20th Street are called Peter Cooper Village, named after the 19th century industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper, who founded Cooper Union. Stuyvesant Town–Peter Cooper Village abuts the Stuyvesant Park and Gramercy Park neighborhoods on the west, the East Village and Alphabet City to the south, Kips Bay to the north; the surrounding area to the west is notable for a historic two-block park surrounded by the old Stuyvesant High School called Stuyvesant Square, Saint George's Church, the Beth Israel Medical Center.

In 1842, one gas storage tank at East 23rd Street and the river was erected followed by the construction of other gas tanks, by the late 19th century, the site of the complex had become known as the "Gashouse District" because of the many gas storage tanks owned by Consolidated Gas Company that dominated the streetscapes. The tanks, which sometimes leaked, made the area undesirable to live in, as did the Gas House Gang and other predators who operated in the area; the population was predominantly poor, at first Irish, but Germans and Jews as well. Crime in the district was endemic; when Alexander S. Williams was promoted to police captain on May 31, 1872 and assigned to the area, he met the gangs' violence with equal force of his own, putting together a brute squad that beat up gangsters with clubs, he commented: "There is more law at the end of a policeman's nightstick than in a decision of the Supreme Court."With the construction of the FDR Drive, the area began to improve. By the 1930s, all but four tanks were gone, while shabby, the area was no more blighted than many parts of the city after the years of the Great Depression.

Before the construction of Stuyvesant Town, the neighborhood contained 18 city blocks, with public schools, factories, private homes, small businesses and relatively new modern-style apartment buildings. In all, 600 buildings, containing 3,100 families, 500 stores and small factories, three churches, three schools, two theaters, were razed; as would be repeated in urban renewal projects, some 11,000 persons were forced to move from the neighborhood. In 1945, The New York Times called the move from the site "the greatest and most significant mass movement of families in New York's history." The last residents of the Gas House district, the Delman family, moved out in May 1946, allowing demolition to be completed shortly thereafter. Due to a New York City housing shortage, growing since the Depression, Stuyvesant Town was being planned as a post-war housing project in 1942–43, some years before the end of World War II. A provision was made; the complex was developed by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, was based on its earlier development in the Parkchester neighborhood of the Bronx, completed in 1942.

The same companies and developers built Riverton, completed around the same time. Metropolitan Life president Frederick H. Ecker said of Stuyvesant Town in its initial offering that it would make it possible for generations of New Yorkers "to live in a park – to live in the country in the heart of New York." On the first day the company received 7,000 applications. The complex's first tenants, two World War II veterans and their families, moved into the first completed building on August 1, 1947. In 1947, rents ranged from $50 to $91 per month. Current rents range from $3,300 for a one bedroom apartment to $9,000 for a 5 bedroom unit. Stuyvesant Town was controversial from the beginning. In 1943, the National Association of Housing Officials described the fight as "a battle up to now lacking only in beer bottles and murder." Although nominally a private development, it was championed by Parks Commissioner Robert Moses, called the "dominant force in creation" of both Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village.

At the behest of Mayor LaGuardia, Moses sought "to induce insurance companies and sa

Gone with the Wind was a huge success and a movie adaption was in works. With Warner Bros. distributing Jezebel as well, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer knew they couldn't be left behind. A Civil War-themed film was rushed into production released as The Toy Wife; the film starred Luise Rainer, an actress, labeled as difficult to work with. She had become famous in a short period by winning two Oscars for her portrayal of Anna Held in The Great Ziegfeld and O-Lan in The Good Earth; the public didn't care about her anymore and she angered studio head Louis B. Mayer by demanding a higher salary, his reaction was casting her in B-films only, including The Toy Wife. There was a schedule conflict during the production, which forced director Richard Thorpe to withdraw from the direction of The Shopworn Angel, a drama film starring Margaret Sullavan and James Stewart. There was a lack of a big budget. By casting Rainer, the studio couldn't afford a famous male lead and assigned Melvyn Douglas instead. Greer Garson was at one point considered for the role of Louise, but Rainer and Thorpe objected to the idea.

Although the studio thought the film would be a hit, it became a flop. According to MGM records the film earned $557,000 in the US and Canada and $298,000 elsewhere resulting in a loss of $29,000; the Toy Wife was dismissed as a tearjerker and the plot was criticized. Rainer received a lot of negative criticism, with The New York Times calling her portrayal "wound too for anybody's comfort"; the critic noted she was being "too feminine". Neither she nor the studio was happy with the results. Rainer said her casting in this movie was a failed punishment, because she insisted she loved working with Douglas. Rainer was known for hating Hollywood and all the insiders, but described Douglas as a loving person, one of the few caring about more than acting. Rainer ended her contract with the studio the same year and retired from the film industry.
