The newspaper was founded in North Garneau at the home of Libby Lloyd on October 26, 1910. A group of students had gathered to discuss the creation of a student newspaper. They came up with the name "The Gateway" and selected A.E. Ottewell as its first editor-in-chief. The first issue was published on November 21, 1910.
