The original New York Sun began publication September 3, 1833, as a morning paper, and an evening edition began in 1887. The Morning Sun merged into the New York Herald in 1919, while the Evening Sun continued until January 4, 1950, when it merged with the New York World-Telegram to form a new paper called the New York World-Telegram and the Sun which in 1966 became part of the New York World Journal Tribune which folded in 1967.

The original Sun is best known for the editorial "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus". It also played a crucial role in The Great Moon Hoax.
