History

[edit]

The Times-Gazette was founded in 1919 through the merger of two competing El Dorado dailies,[1] the El Dorado Republican (founded May 5, 1885) and the Walnut Valley Times (founded March 4, 1870, daily since March 1, 1887).

GateHouse Media merged the operations of the Times-Gazette with the Andover American and Augusta Daily Gazette. The publication was renamed from the El Dorado Times to the Butler County Times-Gazette.

Gannett sold the paper in 2021 to CherryRoad Media.[2][3]
