The Sunday Sun was first published on 5 April 1903.
In 1910 Hugh Denison founded Sun Newspaper Ltd and took over publication of the old and ailing and Australian Star and its sister Sunday Sun, appointing Monty Grover as editor-in-chief.[2] The Star became The Sun, and the Sunday Sun became The Sun: Sunday edition on 11 December 1910.[3] According to its claim, below the masthead of that issue, it had a "circulation larger than that of any other Sunday paper in Australia".[4]
Publication of The Sun ceased on 14 March 1988.[7] Some of its content, and sponsorship of the Sydney City to Surf footrace, was continued in The Sun-Herald.
