The Hayward Journal was a newspaper that used to serve Hayward, California. It was Hayward's first newspaper. [1]

History

Frank M. Dallam founded the paper in 1877 [2] and edited it in an old storehouse [3] until it was taken over by editor George Oakes in 1882. [1] During that period, it was occasionally rendered as Haywards Journal. [2] When the Hayward Review was founded in the 1890s, the two papers sparred frequently on local issues. [1]

By 1892, it was an independent weekly with a circulation of 250, publishing out of Hayward, California. [4] In 1914, it went to publishing once a week instead of bi-weekly, [5] and by the 1940s it had folded. [1] The name was temporarily revived for an unrelated project in the mid-2000s.[ citation needed ]
