History

Founder Richard C. McCormick had originally been the owner of the Arizonan. However when the editor of the Arizonan refused to support Richard C. McCormick's re-election as congressional delegate for the territory of Arizona, McCormick took the press and started the Arizona Citizen with Wasson. During the mid-1880s, the newspaper was known as the Tucson Weekly Citizen. William A. Small, his wife, and William H. Johnson invested in the newspaper in the late 1930s. Johnson sold his share to Small in 1964, and Small turned control over to his son, William A. Small Jr., in 1966 when he retired. In 1977, the Citizen was sold to Gannett Company, Inc.
