The Boston Record was founded on September 3, 1884, by The Boston Daily Advertiser as an evening campaign newspaper.

The Record was so popular that it was made a permanent publication.

Begun as the Afternoon Record, it was bought by William Randolph Hearst in 1921 and known as the Daily Record by the 1930s.

[2] It was merged with another Hearst newspaper, the Evening American, to form the Record American in 1961.
