[edit] History

The roots of the Review and Herald Publishing Association go back to 1849 when James White produced The Present Truth and, in 1850, The Advent Review. From there the publication house grew and moved to Battle Creek, Michigan.

A major fire on December 12, 1902 destroyed the offices. The headquarters was then moved to Takoma Park, Maryland. In 1983 the organization moved to Hagerstown, Maryland onto a 127 acre campus and employs approximately 200 people.

Edson White established the Gospel Herald Publishing Company in Nashville, Tennessee, which was renamed to Southern Publishing Association in 1901. It merged with the Review and Herald in 1980.^[1]
