Established in 1948 by Clark Publishing Company, the first edition of Fate hit world newsstands in the Spring. Co-founded by Ray Palmer, editor of the venerable Amazing Stories magazine, and Curtis Fuller, an accomplished editor in his own right, the magazine's inaugural edition featured an article by Kenneth Arnold who recounted in it his amazing UFO encounter in 1947. Arnold's sighting marked the beginning of the modern UFO era, and his story propelled the fledgling Fate to national recognition.

Fate was sold to Llewellyn Publications in 1988.

Fate underwent a facelift in 1994, when Llewellyn decided to change it from digest size to a full size, full color magazine.

Fate recognizes that the impossible can be possible; we explore the unknown so that it can be known." 1998 (MCMXCVIII) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year of the Ocean. ...
September of 2001 marked the beginning of a new era for the long-running magazine, as Phyllis Galde, Editor-in-Chief, took over publication. Galde has continued Fate's reporting of unusual events and active reader involvement in shaping the content of the magazine.
