Magazine History
It is a matter of record that Site Selection is the pioneering publication in the development field. The lineage goes back to 1883 with the launching of Manufacturers Record in Baltimore. It was the top business journal of its day and continued as the key source of information about new plants and expansions during the first half of the 20th century.
During the 1950s, McKinley Conway purchased Manufacturers Record from the grandson of its founder and merged it with his newly-launched Industrial Development and Site Selection. Subsequently, the title became Site Selection.
In 1994, when the magazine celebrated its 40th anniversary, a special review of its history was published. You may view each of the three documents below from the GeoFacts Document Library in Adobe® PDF format by clicking on the document title below:
