History
The Star was founded in 1880 by William Rockhill Nelson and Samuel Morss. In its original form it was a daily paper published as an afternoon edition. A Sunday edition began publication in 1891. In 1901 Nelson purchased the Kansas City Times, a Democratic-leaning daily, and re-branded it as a morning edition of the Kansas City Star.
