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. [3] 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]

In 2023, the Herald merged with the Warsaw Courier to form the Herald-Courier. [13]
