 | | Under the name The Daily Bee, the first issue of the newspaper was published on February 3, 1857, proudly boasting that "the object of [the Sacramento Bee] is not only independence, but permanence." At this time, the Bee was in competition with The Sacramento Union, a newspaper founded in 1851. |
 | | Although the Bee soon surpassed the Union in popularity, the Union survived until its closing in 1996, leaving the Sacramento Bee to be the longest running newspaper in Sacramento's history. |
 | | Although the first editor of the Sacramento Bee was famed journalist, soon took over the position by the end of the first week. |
