In October 1851 Paul Julius Reuter, a German-born immigrant, opened an office in the City of London which transmitted stock market quotations between London and Paris via the new Calais-Dover cable.

Reuters, as the agency soon became known, extended its service to the British press as well as to other European countries. It also expanded the content to include general and economic news from all around the world. As overland telegraph and undersea cable facilities developed, the business expanded. It included the Far East in 1872 and South America in 1874. In 1923 Reuters pioneered the use of radio to transmit news internationally.

In 1941 Reuters restructured itself as a company. The new owners, the British national and provincial press, formed the Trust. The Trust preserves Reuters independence and neutrality. In 1984 Reuters became a public company.
