Historical Note

The Minneapolis Tribune was founded in 1867. The Minnesota Daily Star began printing in 1920, and later became the Minneapolis Star which was delivered in the evening.

The Minneapolis Star, an evening newspaper, and the Minneapolis Tribune, a morning newspaper published by the same company, merged in 1982 as the Minneapolis Star and Tribune. In 1987 it became the Star Tribune.
