History
In 1810, Stephen Miles, who had been a printer's apprentice, established the Kingston Gazette. Only two other papers were in existence then in Upper Canada, one published at York, the other at Niagara. But during the War of 1812 the Kingston Gazette remained the only paper in the province to continue publication. A weekly, consisting of four pages, it was distributed widely in the Bay of Quinte area, and delivered twice a month to York, where subscribers could pick it up at a certain store. In 1818, Miles sold his paper to Messrs. Pringle and Macaulay who changed its name to Kingston Chronicle. Later the name was changed once again to Chronicle and Gazette.
