The Camas-Washougal Post-Record is a weekly newspaper in Camas, Washington. [2]
The LaCamas Post was first published by Kelley Loe on Jan. 25, 1908. [3] [4] Nine months later Loe announced the paper had been purchased by G. O. Mercer, a newspaper man from Ohio. [4] The paper was soon renamed to the Camas Post. Mercer sold the Post in 1910 to E. V. Hartman. [5] The paper was returned to Mercer who sold it again to Arthur A. Hay, [6] who two years later sold it to George Washington Hopp. [7]
In 1925, Elmer M. Armstrong, who edited the WashougalRecord for the past five years, sold the Record to Upton H. Gibbs, who previously edited the Eastern Clackamas News in Estacada. [8]
In 1928, Post editor Hopp died. [9] John V. Lund succeeded him as editor and purchased the paper from his estate a few months later. [10] In 1929, Gibbs sold the Record to Ray D. Fisher, of McMinnville. [11]
In 1930, Lund purchased the Record from Fisher and merged the two together to form the Camas-Washougal Post-Record. [12] The following owners were E. F. Glick (1942), [13] L. M. Slinkard (1944), [4] Clyde Brown and Leland R. Dowlin (1946), [4] [14] Hal and Judy Zimmerman (1957). [15]
In 1980, Eagle Newspapers of Salem, Oregon, obtained ownership of the Post-Record through a merger. [16] [17] In 2004, the company sold the paper to The Columbian Publishing Co. [18] In 2025, the paper's print edition was redesigned and the Post-Record's and The Columbian's newsrooms was merged together. [19]
