The West Central Tribune originated with the Willmar Tribune, which was founded by Dr. Christian Johnson on February 19, 1895.

Dr. Johnson turned the paper over to Victor E. Lawson (1871–1960) in August 1895. [4] Lawson remained the editor of the paper for over fifty years. [1] The newspaper has had several names:
