The paper was originally launched in the 1870s asThe Presbyterian and Evangelical Protestant Union, owned byPresbyterian minister Stephen G. Lawson. It adopted its current name in 1887.
After a succession of local owners, the newspaper was bought byThomson Corporation in the 1950s.Southam Newspapers acquired the paper from Thomson in 1996, before itself being acquired byCanwest Global Communications in 2000.
