-
“The history of Arkansas’ newspaper, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, begins in the wilderness at Arkansas Post.
At a clearing in those dense woods the Arkansas Gazette was born in 1819, at a simple frontier time when Arkansas was still a young territory, not yet a state.
Half a century later the Arkansas Democrat came into being, born of the turbulent politics of the defeated, war-ruined South.
Together they dominated the newspaper landscape of Arkansas for more than a century. Today they survive and thrive as one — the oldest continuously published newspaper west of the Mississippi.”
