The Canby Herald dates back to 1906. [3] In 1915, G.E. Brookins purchased the newspaper. [4] W. E. Hassler owned the Clackamas County News for three years until selling the newspaper in January 1922 to M.J. Lee, who renamed it to the Canby Herald. [5] A month later Lee sold the paper to A.W. Bond. [6] In June 1923, the paper was acquired by W.C. Culbertson. [7] Henry E. Browne worked as the Canby Herald's publisher for 15 years and became its owner at some point. He sold it to Elbert Floyd Hall and Esther May Hall in 1937. [8] A decade later the couple sold the paper to William Weston.

The Molalla Pioneer was first published on March 28, 1913, [12] and was founded by Gordon J. Taylor. In 1930, he and his son Walter R. Taylor sold the paper to J. Vila Blake. [13] A year later Blake sold the Molalla Pioneer to C. L. Ireland, [14] who owned the paper for 15 years until selling it in January 1946 to Monroe Sweetland. [15] [16] In 1948, Sweetland sold the paper to Charles N. Burger, [17] who then sold it again two years later to Howard Durfee and Earl C. Brannan. [18] In 1952, Durfee sold the paper to Paul F. Ruud. [19] Ruud ran the Molalla Pioneer for close to two decades until Pioneer Publishing, Inc. acquired the paper from him in 1971. [20] Three years later the company sold it to Rodger Eddy, owner of North Willamette News. [21] Two years later Eddy merged his company with Eagle Newspapers in 1976. [22]

Eagle owned the Canby Herald and Molalla Pioneer for nearly four decades until selling them along with three other newspapers in January 2013 to Pamplin Media Group. [23] [24] Pamplin sold the two paper's shared office in August 2019 and moved them to a smaller space. [25] In January 2020, the company announced both paper's print editions were to be merged under the title The Herald-Pioneer while continuing to maintain separate websites and social media accounts.
