HistoryAbingdon Press was begun in the early 1900s by the Methodist Church, with headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee. The name of the imprint is a reference to the town of Abingdon, Maryland, location of the Methodist university Cokesbury College.[2] In 1923 the Methodist Episcopal Church, South adopted the name Cokesbury for its own publishing concern.[2] When the northern and southern branches of the Methodist Episcopal Church reunified in 1939, the name Abingdon-Cokesbury was chosen as the name of publishing house of the unitary Methodist Church.[2] This name remained in use until 1954, when a return was made to the name Abingdon Press, with the church's retail division for its publishing enterprises assuming the name Cokesbury.[2] In 1965 the joint Abingdon Press and the associated Cokesbury retail shops employed more than 2,000 people.[3] Footnotes1. ^Abingdon Press: About Us {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100412035155/http://www.abingdonpress.com/forms/DynamicContent.aspx?pageid=513&id=98 |date=April 12, 2010 }} accessed April 3, 2010 2. ^1 2 3 Alan K.
