According to Allan Nevins’s 1922 history of the paper, it published its first issue as the New-York Evening Post on November 16, 1801; it was founded by Alexander Hamilton and his political allies, with William Coleman as its first editor-in-chief (1801–1829).⁠[1]

Pew Research Center reported that Rupert Murdoch bought the paper in 1976 from its longtime owner, Dorothy Schiff, for $30 million.⁠[2]

After Murdoch bought the local New York television station WNYW, Federal Communications Commission rules barred one company from owning a television station and a newspaper in the same city, and he sold the paper in 1988 for $37.6 million.⁠[2]

In 1993, with the paper apparently close to closing, Murdoch bought it back for $25 million, conditional on a waiver from the Federal Communications Commission.⁠[2]
