It was founded in 1955 by [[Kemal Ilıcak]] (1932–1993), and associated with the center-right. It was based in the now demolished [[Tercüman Building]]. It was temporarily closed down by the military authorities between 11 August and 3 September 1983 when there was [[martial law]] in Turkey.<ref>{{cite journal|author=David Barchard |title=Western silence on Turkey|journal=[[Index on Censorship]]|date=December 1983 |volume=12|issue=6|pages=7–8 |doi=10.1080/03064228308533623|doi-access=free}}</ref> [[Ayhan Songar]] published weekly columns in the paper between 1986 and 1989.<ref>{{cite magazine|author=Mehmet Nuri Yardım |title=Büyük Hekim ve Sanatkâr Ayhan Songar|url=https://www.somuncubaba.net/makale/buyuk-hekim-ve-sanatkar-ayhan-songar|access-date=19 April 2024|issue=255|magazine=Somuncu Baba}}</ref> Another contributor of the paper was [[Nevzat Yalçıntaş]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Prof. Dr. Nevzat Yalçıntaş vefat etti|url=https://www.aa.com.tr/tr/turkiye/prof-dr-nevzat-yalcintas-vefat-etti/608217|access-date=28 April 2024|work=[[Anadolu Agency]]|date=15 July 2016|language=tr}}</ref>

''Tercüman'' closed after Ilıcak's death, and the name was acquired by the [[Çukurova Media Group]] in 1997. In 2003 Ilıcak's family (including Kemal's son, [[Mehmet Ali Ilıcak]]) attempted to resurrect the paper, and a dispute with Çukurova over naming rights saw Çukurova hastily relaunch its ''Tercüman'' in January 2003, on the same day the Ilıcaks' ''Dünden Bugüne Tercüman'' appeared.<ref>''[[Turkish Daily News]]'', 18 January 2003, [http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/two-dailies-named-tercuman-on-newsstands.aspx?pageID=438&n=two-dailies-named-tercuman-on-newsstands-2003-01-18 Two dailies named 'Tercuman' on newsstands]</ref> Çukurova suffered during the [[2008 financial crisis]],<ref>[[Today's Zaman]], 11 January 2009, [http://todayszaman.com/news-163789-financial-crisis-weighs-heavily-on-turkish-media-sector.html Financial crisis weighs heavily on Turkish media sector] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222204150/http://todayszaman.com/news-163789-financial-crisis-weighs-heavily-on-turkish-media-sector.html|date=22 February 2014}}</ref> and it closed down its ''Tercüman'' in 2010.<ref name=gaz>gazeteleroku.ws, [http://gazeteleroku.ws/tercuman-gazetesi/ Tercüman]</ref> ''Dünden Bugüne Tercüman'' was renamed ''[[Bugün]]'' in 2005.
