Meredith Corporation

A magazine publisher that grew from a single farming journal into one of America's largest media companies, Meredith Corporation was founded in 1902 when Edwin Thomas Meredith began selling Successful Farming door-to-door in Iowa. It later launched Better Homes and Gardens, which debuted in 1922 as Fruit, Garden and Home, and published titles like PEOPLE. In 2021 the company was acquired, and its brands now live on under the publisher People Inc.
