History

Signs of the Times was first published on June 4, 1874 by James White as a weekly newspaper, making it one of the longest running, continuously published, religious subscription magazines. (A Millerite magazine of the same name had been published earlier). Signs was significant in the founding of Pacific Press.

Until April 1984 another magazine These Times was published for distribution east of the Mississippi River while Signs was distributed west of the Mississippi River. The current magazine is a merger of These Times with Signs as of that date.

In 2007, Signs changed format to a smaller size and more pages with the change being effected in South Africa in the latter part of 2013.
