History

The Observer was first published in 1906 using equipment bought from The Border Post, and Wodonga Advertiser , an Albury newspaper which had ceased operation in 1902. [1] [2] It was also titled The Henty observer and Culcairn Shire register and Shire's observer. [1] The press moved a number of times in Henty until, after a fire destroyed its premises in 1933, a new building was constructed. The paper continued to be based from this building until 2008, when it was converted to a museum. [2] [3] In 1981 it changed name to the Eastern Riverina Observer and remained in publication under this title until 2003. [4]

In 2003, the Observer merged with the Holbrook, Billabong & Upper Murray Chronicle (which had been in publication since 1989) to form the Eastern Riverina Chronicle. [5] [6]
