Our History
Founded in Toronto in 1841, Copp Clark has built its reputation on authoritative reference information for
more than 180 years. What began in Canadian publishing now continues in financial calendar data used by
organizations across the globe to operate with accuracy.
Founded in Toronto Copp Clark traces its origins to Hugh Scobie’s book and stationery business at 16 King Street East in Toronto. Scobie was already an active publisher, printer, and public figure in Toronto, establishing the foundation for Copp Clark’s long role in reference publishing.
First Canadian Almanac Published In partnership with James Balfour, Hugh Scobie published Scobie & Balfour’s Canadian Almanac and Repository of Useful Knowledge, establishing an early legacy in trusted reference publishing. The publication became part of a Canadian almanac tradition that has continued for generations.
The Copp Clark Name Takes Shape William W. Copp and Henry J. Clark gained control of the firm and expanded its publishing and printing operations under the Copp Clark name. By 1880, key commercial operations had moved to 9 Front Street West, placing the company in the heart of Toronto’s publishing and business district.
The Great Toronto Fire Copp Clark’s factory on Publishers’ Row was destroyed in the Great Toronto Fire, a major turning point in the company’s history.
A New Home on Wellington Street Copp Clark opened its replacement building at 495 Wellington Street West. From this new home, the company continued to grow as a major Canadian educational publisher, producing textbooks, reference works, maps, and schoolbooks used across Canada. Its publishing operations helped shape how generations of Canadians accessed educational and reference information.
