In the framework of the dynamical triangulation we construct non-critical string field theories at the discrete level (including c > 1 cases) by using the transfer matrix formalism. For the dynamical triangulation which corresponds to the multicritical one-matrix model (including the c = 0 case), we succeed in taking the continuum limit and obtaining the non-critical string field theories at the continuous level. We also study the universality of the c = 0 non-critical string field theory. These non-critical string field theories are new methods of analyzing the dynamical triangulation.
