Description

History

The oldest business in San Diego County and the second-oldest newspaper in Southern California, The San Diego Union-Tribune is the product of a merger of The San Diego Union, founded Oct. 10, 1868, and the Evening Tribune, founded Dec. 2, 1895.

The two newspapers merged into a morning newspaper Feb. 2, 1992. They had been published by the same company morning and evening since 1901 by two distinguished newspaper families -- the Spreckels family (until 1928) and the Copley family (1928-present). John D. Spreckels, who purchased The Union in 1890, was a pioneer developer (land, transit, buildings). Spreckels died in 1926, and his estate sold the newspapers in 1928 to Ira Clifton Copley of Illinois (public utilities, newspapers).

Ira Copley was owner-publisher until his death in 1947, when his son, James Strohn Copley, took over following World War II Navy service. After his tragic death from cancer in 1973, his widow, Helen K. Copley, became publisher.
