The newspaper was founded in 1877 by E. W. Howe. The Howe family sold it in 1951 to the editor, Paul Allingham and Winnie Allingham.[2] The Allinghams sold it in 1979 to Thomson Newspapers. Thomson sold it in 1993 to American Publishing.[3] It is currently owned by News-Press & Gazette Company.

In 1989, its publisher, Larry Sarvey, was murdered at his home after being shot twice by a shotgun. The case was never solved.[4]
