History

The King City Rustler was first published May 11, 1901. It was originally published by Frederick Godfrey Vivian under Vivian & Co. [7] was owned by the Vivian-Casey family, passing from founder Fred Vivian to his daughter Beatrice Vivian Casey and grandson Harry Casey [8] until 1995, when it was sold to News Media Corporation. [9]

Founder Fred Vivian was a scribe whose dream was to bring the Salinas Valley under irrigation. [10] He first decided to publish a sheet on the irrigation prospects of King City and the surrounding area. He was known as "Visionary Vivian" and often offended the local land barons whose land grants he dreamed of cutting up and turning into small farms. [11] Due to his efforts and the publication of a special "Irrigation Edition" of the paper, Vivian was appointed to membership on the state advisory board in 1911 and attended the Irrigation Congress in Chicago. [12] Today, the publication maintains a "Focus on Agriculture" section. [13]

In 1929, the King City Rustler became a bi-weekly publication. [14]
