The newspaper was founded as a weekly Dec. 11, 1858, by a Strong-voiced Nova Scotian named Amor de Cosmos. The curious mixture of Latin, French and Greek in his name was his own idea. At, birth he was given the unassuming name of William Smith, but he chang- ed it when he arrived on the west coast. His new name, changed by statute, was meant to convey he was a “lover of the universe.” Two years after Colonist was born in a water- front shack, its clreulation reached above 3,000 and de Cos- mos turned the newspaper Into wo dally.
