The newspaper was founded in 1852 by the book printers Pargätzi & Felix in Chur as a daily newspaper for the Canton of Graubünden . The following year the paper was renamed the Bündner Tagblatt . The politically independent publication developed under the editor Christian Tester from 1857 to 1871 into a widespread newspaper.

With the change of ownership in 1870 and Tester's resignation in 1872, the political stance of the newspaper also changed. From then on, conservative politics were supported under the influence of leading conservative politicians such as Hermann von Sprecher , Plazidus Plattner , Theophil Sprecher von Bernegg and Friedrich Brügger . From 1921 the Bündner Tagblatt served as an organ of various conservative, expressly not only Catholic parties, from 1938 to 1960 with the subtitle organ of the Conservative People's Party of Graubünden (today's CVP).
