The Times-Picayune, founded in eighteen thirty-seven, began as a four-page newspaper sold for a single picayune—a Spanish coin worth six and one-quarter cents. Its early publishers, George Wilkins Kendall and Francis Lumsden, built the operation in the city's commercial district, helping define a local industry that once clustered densely around the alleys and streets of what is now the Central Business District.
