The Gardena Valley News is a weekly newspaper published each Thursday. It serves the Gardena, California area, and has an estimated circulation of 10,000. [1]

History

Founded in 1904 by H. C. Morrill as the Gardena Reporter, the four-page paper billed itself as an independent, [2] [3] with editor Morrill taking positions against the Republican party of which he was an officer. [4]

Starting in 1928, [5] the paper was edited by Lew Guild, who threw his support into the fight for incorporation of Gardena. [6] The town was incorporated in 1930.

In 1946, the paper was purchased from Lew Guild by Amos Dow, a former Nevada publisher. [5] [7] Dow, a veteran, had been in poor health since being gassed in World War I. [8] Dow died shortly after the purchase, passing the paper on to his wife Agnes. Agnes Dow acted as not only publisher, but also reporter and editor for the paper. [9] When Agnes Dow retired in 1957, she passed the paper to her brother, Don Algie. Algie died in 2008.

The newspaper's headquarters was originally located on Western Ave, a few yards south of Gardena Blvd / 164th Street.
