History

First appearing as a short-lived weekly newspaper in 1851, [1] The Bellevue Gazette was published continuously since being refounded in October 1867, [3] and daily since 1899, originally as The Bellevue Record, then The Evening Gazette, before adopting the name Bellevue Gazette in 1906. [4]

For more than a century, The Bellevue Gazette was the flagship of The Gazette Publishing Company, a chain that also included eight weeklies across Northwestern Ohio. The company, owned by the Callaghan family, was sold to Brown Publishing Company of Cincinnati in 2007. [2]

Brown declared bankruptcy and was reconstituted as Ohio Community Media in 2010. [5] The company, including The Bellevue Gazette, was purchased for an undisclosed sum in 2011 by Philadelphia-based Versa Capital Management. [6]

On June 1, 2016, the Bellevue Gazette published its final addition after Civitas Media announced both the Bellevue paper and the Clyde Enterprise would be shuttered. [7]
