The newspaper was first published on 5 June 1857 as Perno Postimees ehk Näddalileht.[1] It was founded by Johann Voldemar Jannsen,[1] who was an architect by profession and has been 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 Dorpat (Tartu) and was renamed Eesti Postimees (meaning 'the Estonian Postman' in English).[1]
