Description
The Pequot Press, whose name was adapted from a local Indian tribe, was founded in 1947 as an adjunct to the Stonington Printing Company in Stonington, Connecticut. Twenty years later, in 1967, the new owner brought the still small publishing company down the coastline to Essex, Connecticut and styled it as a publisher to the historical societies and assisted neighboring towns and other local groups with their publishing requirements.
In 1970 the company moved to Chester, Connecticut and expanded the basic publishing program to books of New England history, biography, architecture, antiques, genealogy and travel. The company published an average of 15 new books per year, including trade paperback editions of Guide to the Recommended Country Inns of New England and Factory Store Guide to New England.
The Boston Globe Newspaper Company purchased the Press in February, 1981, formalizing an association that had begun in 1978, when the company name was changed to The Globe Pequot Press. The current president, Linda Kennedy, joined Globe Pequot in the same year. Since 1979 the company has grown at an average annual rate of 25%, through organic growth of the core-publishing program. In 1986 Globe purchased a similar regional publishing company in the Southeast, East Woods Press and in 1987, 20 titles were purchased from Pacific Search Press, a publisher located in the Pacific Northwest. With the acquisition of the award-winning international city and country guides from Cadogan Books p.l.c. of London, England, Gateway Books, ICS Books and most recently Falcon Publishing and Lyons Press, Globe Pequot Press is now the largest publisher of regional travel in the United States, with an exceptional concentration in the outdoor recreation specialty.
