Scope and Content

The Metropolis/Florida Metropolis newspaper. On July 2, 1887, W.R. Carter and Rufus A. Russell, formerly with the Evening Herald, debuted The Metropolis, a Democratic, every-afternoon-but-Sunday paper in continuous production for over a quarter of a century. From 1913 to 1916, George A. McClellan operated the business, renaming the paper The Florida Metropolis and adding the byline "Florida's Greatest Newspaper" and a short lived Sunday Extra. By May 10, 1920, S.A. Lynch had acquired the paper. In June 1922, a newspaper syndicate headed by J.H. Perry and Richard L. Jones purchased the property and renamed it the Jacksonville Journal.
