For 35 years starting in 1965, the "San Francisco Chronicle and Examiner" operated under a Joint Operating Agreement whereby the "Chronicle" published a morning paper and the "Examiner" published in the afternoon. The "Examiner" published the Sunday paper's news sections and glossy magazine, and the "Chronicle" contributed the features. Circulation was approximately 100,000 on weekdays and 500,000 on Sundays. By 1995, discussion was already brewing in print media about the possible shuttering of the "Examiner" due to low circulation and an extremely disadvantageous revenue sharing agreement for the "Chronicle".

James King of William began publishing the "Daily Evening Bulletin" in San Francisco in October, 1855 and built it into the highest circulation paper in the city. He criticized a city supervisor named James P. Casey, who, on the afternoon of the story about him, ran in the paper, shot and mortally wounded King. Casey was lynched by the early vigilante committee. The "Morning Call" was established and began publishing in December 1856, and later merged with the "Bulletin" to become the long-running "Call-Bulletin". The "San Francisco Chronicle" debuted in June, 1865 as the "Dramatic Chronicle", founded by Charles and M.H. de Young aged 19 and 17.

The "Chronicle" was founded by brothers Charles and M. H. de Young in 1865 as "The Daily Dramatic Chronicle", and inside of 10 years, it had the largest circulation of any newspaper west of the Mississippi River. The paper's first office was in a building at the corner of Bush and Kearney Streets. The brothers then commissioned a building from Burnham and Root at 690 Market Street at the corner of Third and Kearney Streets to be their new headquarters, in what became known as Newspaper Row. The new building, San Francisco's first skyscraper, was completed in 1889. It was damaged in the 1906 earthquake, but it was rebuilt under the direction of William Polk, Burnham's associate in San Francisco. That building, known as the "Old Chronicle Building" or the "DeYoung Building", still stands and was restored in 2007. It is an historic landmark and is the location of the Ritz-Carlton Club and Residences.

The "San Francisco Chronicle" was the first newspaper in the country to introduce a Sunday magazine when it did so in 1869 with the aim of providing a "literary dimension" to the newspaper. That magazine, however, ended sometime prior to the Chronicle's absorption of the "Examiner" staff and the creation of the current "San Francisco Chronicle Magazine".

Newspaper Row referred to the intersections of Market Street, Kearny Street, Third Street and Geary Street, where three of San Francisco's largest daily newspapers were headquartered. By 1902, "The San Francisco Call", "The San Francisco Examiner" and the "San Francisco Chronicle" were in buildings on the corner, with the "Chronicle" in the Chronicle Building, the "Call" in the Spreckels Building and the "Examiner" in the Examiner building. The row became known as the "Times Square of the West". It was partially destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco Fire. The "Call" and "Examiner" buildings were slowly gutted over two hours, and the "Chronicle"s building was similarly destroyed. The three newspapers published a combined issue from the office of the Oakland Tribune.

In San Francisco, de Young and his brother, Charles de Young (1846–1880), founded the "Daily Dramatic Chronicle" newspaper, first published on January 17, 1865, with the loan of a twenty dollar gold piece which Michael received from his landlord. A third brother, Gustavus, whose initial originally appeared in the masthead ("G. and C. de Young"), later vanished. The "Daily Dramatic Chronicle" was a four page tabloid that was freely distributed throughout San Francisco. According to the de Youngs, the "Daily Dramatic Chronicle" would be “the best advertising medium on the Pacific Coast.” On September 1, 1868, the de Youngs expanded their tabloid into a daily newspaper. The first issue stated that the Chronicle would be "independent in all things, neutral in none." The "Daily Dramatic Chronicle" was sold under the condition that it be renamed the "Dramatic Review". De Young was also the director of the Associated Press for many years.
