''The Herald'' was founded on 3 January 1840 by George Cavenagh as the ''Port Phillip Herald''. In 1849, it became ''The'' ''Melbourne Morning Herald''. At the beginning of 1855, it became ''The'' ''Melbourne Herald'' before settling on ''The Herald'' from 8 September 1855 - the name it would hold for the next 135 years. From 1869, it was an evening newspaper. Colonel [[William Thomas Reay]] was sometime literary editor and later associate editor, before becoming managing editor in 1904. When ''[[The Argus (Melbourne)|The Argus]]'' newspaper closed in 1957, The Herald and Weekly Times bought out and continued various Argus media assets.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Kirkpatrick|first1=Rod|title=Press Timeline 1951-2011|url=http://www.nla.gov.au/content/press-timeline-1951-2011|website=Australian Newspaper Plan|publisher=National Library of Australia|access-date=13 June 2016|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160415200439/http://www.nla.gov.au/content/press-timeline-1951-2011|archive-date=15 April 2016}}</ref> In 1986, ''The Herald''{{'s}} Saturday edition, ''The Weekend Herald'' (which had adopted a [[tabloid (newspaper format)|tabloid format]], in order to distinguish it from the Monday to Friday editions' [[broadsheet]] format) was closed.
