From "Holbrook's Pocket Guide 1872":

This favorite newspaper is over forty years of age and was not only the first daily published in Newark, but for a long period, the only one.  The first number was issued, Thursday, March 1st, 1832, by Geroge Bush & Co. from their office in Market Street, west of Broad Street.  It commenced with a sheet half its present size, and in the nature of an experiment, but so successful was it that it has continued to increase in public favor ever since.  It is republican in politics, is most able conducted, and has an advertising patronage the largest of any newspaper in the State.  Its telegraphic news are always complete up to the hour of publication, and its summary of legislative and congressional proceedings, comprehensive and reliable.  It is eminently the home paper of the city, being an especial favorite with the female portion of the community.  Its profuse advertisements, full accounts of marriages and deaths, weather probabilities, etc. are features that contribute largely to this.  The Advertiser is universally known as “The Daily,” its popular title when it was the only one.  Although there are now seven daily papers published in the city, so endeared has it become to the people of Newark that its petite title is continued as expressive of the affection and respect in which it continues to be held.

From "Essex County, NJ, Illustrated 1897":

The Newark Daily Advertiser had its birth on Thursday, March 1, 1832 and was the first daily newspaper published in New Jersey. The Advertiser was Whig in its politics. When the Whig party died, the Daily Advertiser became Republican. In 1895 the location of the paper changed from the southeast corner of Broad and Market to 794 Broad Street. In 1896 the paper was purchased by Sheffield Phelps who is also one of the owners of the Jersey City Journal.
