New Hampshire Union Leader company history timeline

1912

In October 1912, the competing Manchester Leader was founded by Frank Knox, later Secretary of the Navy during World War II, and financed by then-Governor Robert P. Bass, a member of the Progressive (or Bull Moose) Party who was attempting to promote the Progressive cause in New Hampshire.

1913

The newspaper was so successful that Knox bought out the Union, and the two newspapers merged under the banner of the Union-Leader Corporation July 1913.

1948

The New Hampshire Sunday News was created in 1948 and later, after Loeb's attempts to start a Sunday edition of the Union-Leader failed, was purchased by the Union-Leader Corporation.

1972

Loeb famously crippled Senator Edmund Muskie’s presidential campaign in 1972 by publishing a forged letter that accused Muskie of saying “Canuck,” a derogatory term for French Canadians.

2005

On April 4, 2005, it changed its name to the New Hampshire Union Leader to reflect its statewide reach.

2014

Bradlee was then a reporter but went on to be the executive editor of The Washington Post for nearly 30 years and was its vice president until his death in 2014.
