According to the article on the paper on page 239 of "Τόμος 13, Μεγάλη Κυπριακή Εγκυκλοπαίδεια, Πρώτη Έκδοση (1990)", the first issue of Phileleftheros came out on 7 December 1955.

According to the same source, the paper published for many years on the first page is the satirical verse of Anthos Rodinis.
