[edit] History
The Sun Chronicle was founded in 1971 by Guy Devany, who merged The Attleboro Sun, of which he was publisher, with The Evening Chronicle of North Attleborough. In 1983, Devany died and his editor Paul Rixon took over as publisher of the combined newspaper.
United Communications Corp., which owns The Sun Chronicle, bought the Attleboro paper in 1970 and oversaw the merger. The company also owns two other dailies, the Kenosha News of Wisconsin and Watertown Public Opinion of South Dakota.
