Historical Marker
    A.H. Belo Corporation traces its roots to a small company that founded the Galveston Daily News on April 11, 1842. The company began publishing the Texas Almanac in 1857. Alfred Horatio Belo (1839-1901) bought the company in 1876 and founded the Dallas Morning News in 1885, entrusting it to G.B. Dealey (1859-1946). In 1923, the company sold the Galveston paper and moved its headquarters to Dallas. The company later diversified into radio and television, including WFAA-TV. Since its founding, the A.H. Belo Corporation has played a major role in Texas communications.
