Established during the late 1860s by Mr Herbert Dalton, Daltons Weekly was initially a single broad sheet listing 'Accommodation for Gentleman' in the then fashionable middle class suburbs around Vauxhall in South London. Events and trends Technology The First Transcontinental Railroad in the USA was completed in 1869 Vauxhall is an inner city area of South London in the London Borough of Lambeth. South London is the southern part of London, England. The area it covers is defined differently for a range of purposes (Est. 138 years)

The paper proved very successful, but regrettably within 2 years of starting the paper, Mr Dalton died, leaving it to his brother, who was a butcher in Westerham, Kent and had no interest in publishing so sold the paper on to 2 brothers by the name of ‘Hebert’. Their vested interest in the paper's continuing is obvious and they paid the princely sum of £100 to buy it outright.

For the next 102 years, Daltons Weekly remained a family business owned by the Hebert's. During this period it grew and developed into the type of format we are now familiar with.

In June 1972 the paper was purchased by Morgan Grampian Ltd and the 3 main market areas of Holidays, Property and Businesses were focussed on and the unrelated sectors were closed down.

In 1987 Morgan-Grampian was acquired by United Business Media (then known as United News and Media) in the United Advertising Publications (UAP) division which was then transferred into the CMP Information portfolio in December 2005 as part of the Specialist Division/Consumer group. United Business Media Limited provides business information services principally to the technology healthcare media automotive and financial services industries United Advertising Publications ( UAP) is a trading division of UBM but by the end of 2005 its products (publications and websites will be merged with those of CMPi CMP Information (CMPi is the European magazine and events business of United Business Media plc.
