Dawn was launched in Karachi on 14 October 1941 by Khwaja Hassan Nizami, a leading journalist and intellectual of the time. The press was shut down for about a year (1946–47) during the independence movement but resumed publication under the new name Dawn after Pakistan's independence in 1947. In 1958, Its editor M.J. Akbar launched his career as a writer, writing a column called "Somewhere in the East" for this newspaper. In the 1970s, his coverage of the East Pakistan crisis helped to improve relations between India and Pakistan.

The paper was owned by several individuals and groups until Mr. Iskander Mirza bought it in 1954 and made it into a group company. After Mr. Mirza's death in 1965, his wife Talat Haroon became the chairman of the group until 1972 when Gen Zia-ul-Haq imposed martial law brought it under military control.
