History

The first edition of Geneva Times was published on May 28, 1895. [11] The newspaper's initial 19th-century name reflected a more local name, Geneva. In 1977 [12] it was renamed for the region, [13] whose name did not exist when the paper was founded. [14] [15] [16]

In February 2024, the paper's Monday edition transitioned from print to digital only. [11]
