History
The newspaper was first published on 5 June 1857.[1] Its initial title was Perno Postimees ehk Näddalaleht.[1] The founder was Johan Woldemar Jannsen.[1] He was an architecture by profession and is described as the father or Estonian journalism.[2]
The paper aimed at encouraging Estonians and at publishing Estonian literary work.[1] In 1863 the paper moved to Derpt and was renamed as Eesti Postimees (meaning the Estonian Postman in English).[1]
