History

When the newspaper started in 1881, it was named the Oregon Mist, later renamed to the St. Helens Mist.[4][5][6] In 1933, the Mist bought out the St. Helens Sentinel, which was established in 1926, and the paper was renamed the Sentinel-Mist.[6] In 1936, a paper named the St. Helens Chronicle was started.[6] The Chronicle bought the Sentinel-Mist in 1968 and the combined publication became known as The Sentinel-Mist Chronicle, Columbia County's only newspaper.[6] Later the name became The Chronicle and Sentinel-Mist, finally becoming The Chronicle in 2009.[6][7]
