History

In 1947, the owners of the Covina Argus-Citizen founded the Baldwin Park Tribune, a weekly paper for residents of Baldwin Park, California. The papers' cooperate owner was headed by Carl P. Miller and included Corwin Hoffland, A.Q. Miller Jr. and Alba Hibsch. The new paper's first editor was Ted Weegar. ^[3] On March 21, 1955, the San Gabriel Valley Tribune was launched in West Covina, California. The daily paper was founded after Miller's company merged together two weeklies, the Sunday Valley Tribune and Baldwin Park Tribune. The new paper's paid circulation was 15,000. ^{[4] [5]} Later that year the Tribune joined the Associated Press news network. ^[6] In 1960, the newspaper chain Brush-Moore purchased the Tribune. ^[7] Thomson Newspapers purchased Brush-Moore in 1967 and sold the Tribune to Singleton's MediaNews Group in 1996. ^[8]
