PAPER FOUNDED 100 YEARS AGO It was on August 15, 1846. that. the first issue of the Monterey Cali-. fornian destined to be California’s first newspaper, was run off on an ancient press. Today that single Rewspaper has grown to approximately 577 daily and weekly newspapers throughout the state. As we>-read the histories of some ;Of the oldest California newspapers in existence today—those which unlike the Monterey Californian, did not fade from the earth after a short period of publication, we read of their struggles to ‘survive earthquakes, fires and political corruption and. still. today be among the few nearing the century wark in years of continued publicatoin. STORY OF FOUNDING The story of the founding of the Monterey Californian is interesting. The American flag had been raised in Monterey by Commodore Sloat on July 7, 1846, and after the proclamation had been read, it became Commodore Sloat’s responsibility to ‘appoint a mayor. He looked over the . Americans who were present and selected Walter Colton, chaplain of the USS Congress which had brought . the Americans to Monterey a short time before.’ Colton decided the best way to. make public the various proclama-! tions, laws and orders, as well as the He made a partner of Dr. Robert .

After that Dr. Semple remained alone as publisher. IIn May 1847, he moved tthe Californian to San Francisco. It continued as a weekly until December, 1848 when it was absorbed by the California Star.
