The first edition was printed in a government store at the camp at the foot of Fort Hill on 7 November 1873 by George Thompson Clarkson.^[3] A week later the Northern Territory Times and Gazette moved to Mitchell Street.^[3] Richard Wells was editor until his death in the wreck of the Gothenburg in 1875.^[3] Another editor and proprietor for a few years was Joseph Skelton (c. 1822 – 25 April 1884). The Northern Territory Times and Gazette continued publication until 1927,^[3] when the title was shortened to the Northern Territory Times.^[3] An amalgamation with the Northern Standard occurred in 1932.^[3]
