History

The first issue of the newspaper was dated July 4, 1901. [4] By 1980 the newspaper was up to its seventh publisher. [4] Its founder died in 1929; [10] the first publisher, who died in 1970, "frequently gave lectures based on Scarsdale history and was appointed historian in 1965." [11]

The Scarsdale Woman's Club was organized in 1918, and one year later [12] they bought [13] and began publishing the paper. They sold it about 40 years later. [12]

From 1980 until his death in 1989, William H. White "was the owner and publisher of the Scarsdale Inquirer." [6] He was succeeded by his daughter Deborah. [6]

Their website is named scarsdalenews.com, and it competes with (and is mentioned by) Scarsdale News and Opinion, a part of the patch.com hyperlocal website. [14] The Inquirer is cited by other newspapers. [15] [14] [3]

On January 15, 2024, the newspaper suspended publication citing financial difficulties having failed to distribute its usual Friday, January 12 edition. [16] [17]
