Grit was founded in 1882 by Rev. Henry R. Wolf, Jr. who published a weekly, one-color, four-page broadsheet called the Daily Sun and Banner. During that time, a young German immigrant named Dietrick Lamade began working for Wolf. The Daily Sun and Banner closed its doors in 1884 but the young 25 year old Lamade, along with two investors, were able to purchase the printing equipment and the Grit name.
In the same year, Lamade published the first issue of Grit as an independent newspaper for the "plain people". It was the first of its kind to feature color and fictional supplements. As the newspaper grew from 1,500 to over 200,000 readers, it was able to acquire a new building along Third Street in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
