History

The Arcade Herald was established in 1891 as the Wyoming County Herald under publisher George Chase.[3] In 1895, Chase left town suddenly and did not return. The Herald was sold by the local sheriff in 1897 to Walter F. Arthurs on credit.[4] Chase later reformed[5] and became vice president of the Wyoming County Press Association.[6]

In 1899, the Republican members of the board of supervisors of Wyoming County designated the Herald as newspaper to publish the sessions laws,[7] and in 1916, it was so designated again.[8]

In 1927, the name of the newspaper was changed to the Arcade Herald. In 1945, Arthurs sold the newspaper to Paul F. Dorris.[9] In 1969, the name was changed to the Tri-County Times.[10] In 1981, the name was changed back to the Arcade Herald.[11] In 1986, Kathleen L. Mason became the publisher.[12]
