The Oregonian Publishing Company was established in 1850 as The Weekly Oregonian and was owned and published by W.W. Chapman and Henry W. Corbett. In 1861 ownership passed to Henry Pittock, who changed the name to The Morning Oregonian in 1861. The paper was renamed to it's current title, The Oregonian, in 1937. Over the years the paper has had a number of notable owners and publishers besides Pittock, including W.W. Chapman, Henry W. Corbett, and S.I. "Si" Newhouse. Early notable editors included Thomas J. Dryer, Henry Pittock, and Harvey W. Scott. (Archives West Cyber-Resource).
