History

The Chronicle-Journal's name is a combination of the names of the "Daily Times-Journal" of Fort William and the "News-Chronicle" of Port Arthur.

The "Daily Times-Journal" was created in 1899 when the "Fort William Journal" merged with the "Fort William Times". In 1902 the "Daily Times-Journal" became the second newspaper in Canada to adopt a weekly payment plan for paper carriers. The "News-Chronicle" was first published in 1899.

In 1972, after the amalgamation of Port Arthur and Fort William in the city of Thunder Bay, the newspapers merged and became the morning daily "Chronicle-Journal" and evening daily "Times-News". The newspaper relocated to its current building in 1977. On April 17, 1996, publication of the evening "Times-News" ceased.
