History

The paper was founded by John R. Needham and Hugh McNelley in 1850. [4] [5] Tri-Cities Newspapers acquired the paper in 1970. [6] Boone Newspapers took over ownership in 1975. [7] [8] Donrey Media Group sold the paper to Community Newspaper Holdings (later shortened to CNHI) in 1998. [9]

In May 2020, the CNHI publications Journal-Express and Pella Chronicle were discontinued and merged with The Oskaloosa Herald; these were two of the 16 publications shut down by owner CNHI due to business losses associated with the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. [10]

In June 2023, the Herald closed its building on A Avenue West and moved to 219 High Avenue East, near Oskaloosa's town square. [11]
