The Richmond Hill Liberal is a Canadian newspaper based in Richmond Hill, Ontario and servicing Richmond Hill and surrounding communities since 1878 [1] as a weekly [2] local newspaper. [3] It usually gives full coverage to all local council meetings. [4]

History

The paper was founded in 1878 after the Conservative York Herald (the town's only paper) attacked the more progressive Richmond Hill council. [5]

Thomas F. McMahon purchased the newspaper in 1884, [6] and was the editor until his death in 1925. [7] James H. Ormiston was a later editor. [8]

Richmond Hill LIberal printed its last paper version on September 14, 2023 after its parent company, Metroland Media Group, entered bankruptcy protection and transitioned the paper into digital-only. [9]
