The newspaper was first published on June 30, 2005, as Harian Seputar Indonesia.

Presently the local edition exists in 9 provinces, including West Java, North Sumatra, Riau Islands, and South Sulawesi.

In 2013, Harian Seputar Indonesia was renamed Koran Sindo as a part of rebranding several news-related assets of MNC Media into single-brand Sindo Media.

As of 2020, the official website of Koran Sindo is redirected into Sindonews.com news portal.

Koran Sindo has been initiated some awards, such as People of the Year (given to individuals) and Rekor Bisnis (Business Records, given to companies).
