First published by attorney Richard M. Smith as the Weekly Eagle on October 26, 1889, [4] it transitioned to a daily in 1913. [5]

The Eagle was owned by the Evening Post Publishing Company from 2001 to 2012, when it was sold to Berkshire Hathaway to become part of its BH Media Group subsidiary. [6] [7] At that time, the paper's average weekday circulation in 2012 was 19,132. [8]

Previously, the newspaper was owned by Belo Corp. from 1995–2001, [6] Worrell Newspapers from 1988–1995, Harte-Hanks Communications from 1962–1988 and local ownership prior to that. [9] As of 2020, Lee Enterprises owns the paper.
