History

The newspaper began as the Grant County Herald on Saturday, March 18, 1843, printed by the Schrader, Mallett & Company. The first publisher of the newspaper was J.D. Spalding. A little over a year later, Spalding was joined by James Goodhue, an attorney in Lancaster, who began writing for the newspaper in July 1844, often under the penname of "G." Goodhue would write for the paper for five years, before packing his bags, and moving his family to Minnesota, where he would start his own newspaper, The Minnesota Pioneer, which would become the Pioneer Press, the oldest newspaper in the state of Minnesota.
