The history of The Globe began in Toronto in 1843 with the arrival of George Brown, a tall, angular Edinburgh Scot of 25. He had come to North America in 1837 with his father, and helped the family run the British Chronicle in New York, an antislavery paper directed at British immigrants. It was while drumming up circulation for the Chronicle that Brown visited Toronto and, sensing a fertile market, persuaded his father to dispose of the New York paper and move to Toronto with him.
