Kendall Hunt is an independent educational publishing house founded in 1944 as William C. Brown Publishing. The company is based in Dubuque, Iowa, and is still owned by the Brown family.[4]
In 1944, William C. Brown acquired the rights to 26 book titles ranging from workbooks to laboratory manuals.[5] Brown's company, William C. Brown Publishing, owned and operated all facets of textbook publishing, from original concept to shipping. The number of the titles in the company's catalog grew to more than 100 by 1949.[6] By 1961, the company used the name W.C. Brown & Company, Publishers for the traditional publishing department and William C. Brown Book Company for authors with guaranteed publishing contracts. To eliminate the confusion between these two brands, the company was renamed Kendall Hunt Publishing Company in 1994.[7] Kendall was a family name of Brown's.[8]
In 1992 W.C. Brown & Company, Publishers was sold to the Times Mirror Company.[9] In 2016, Kendall Hunt acquired the primary provider of religious education programs for Catholic parishes, schools and families, RCL Benziger.[10] In 2020, Kendall Hunt acquired the publishing imprints Paradigm and JIST.[11]
