Like the newspaper, the magazine is owned by the Economist Group, a British media holding company.{{cite web |url=https://www.1843magazine.com/content/faqs |title=FAQs |access-date=11 July 2017 |work=1843 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160324094451/https://www.1843magazine.com/content/faqs |archive-date=24 March 2016 |publisher=The Economist Newspaper Limited}}{{cite news |url=http://wwd.com/media-news/fashion-memopad/1843-the-economist-new-rebranded-magazine-title-10386121/ |last=Conti |first=Samantha |title=1843, The Economist Unveils a Relaunched, Rebranded Lifestyle Title |journal=Women's Wear Daily |date=8 March 2016 |access-date=20 March 2016 |publisher=Penske Media Corporation}}
History
The magazine was launched under the title Intelligent Life in September 2007 as a quarterly publication, having previously been a summer annual and was billed as covering "the arts, style, food, wine, cars, travel and anything else under the sun, as long as it's interesting."
In March 2016, the Economist Group relaunched and rebranded Intelligent Life as 1843 (named for The Economist's founding year).{{Cite web|date=2016-03-01|title=The Economist relaunches Intelligent Life as 1843|url=https://digiday.com/media/economist-intelligent-life-1843/|access-date=2021-04-16|website=Digiday|language=en-US}}
