The Gazette was founded in 1883.^[2] At the time of its launch, the city of Heppner had a population of 370; the newspaper was started with contributions from a number of citizens.^[3]

Vawter Crawford bought the paper in 1910, and two years later purchased the Heppner Times, which had been founded in 1897, and merged the two papers. It was a consistently Republican newspaper.^[4]

David Sykes bought the paper in 1980.^[5] He appointed his son Chris Sykes as publisher in 2022.
