The Syrian World was founded in 1926 by a Lebanese-American journalist and intellectual, Salloum Mokarzel.
The magazine was printed entirely in English and was pitched to the first generation Syrians; who were born in the United States.
Salloum founded the magazine as a non-sectarian and non-partisan publication that would seek, to educate the first generation of Syrian-Americans of their illustrious and ancient cultural heritage, and to strengthen their ties to their culture.
In the second year of its publication, 1927, a single issue cost 50 cents, and a yearly subscription set back the reader 5 dollars.
Although very popular when it was founded, it proved difficult to keep afloat during the Great Depression, and it ceased publication in 1932.

However, after 1932 The Syrian World was turned into a weekly newspaper.
