History

The first issue of the daily newspaper was published July 10, 1885.[1] The newspaper was then called The Evening Venture. It was published by the Northrup brothers — Edward Northrup was editor. They published the paper for 92 issues until Oct. 24, 1885, when they sold it to Charles K. Esler — who changed the name of the paper to The Evening Tribune. Esler sold it to Charles Conger in 1889, who sold it to Horace Nichols in May 1891. Nichols changed the name of the paper to The Grand Haven Daily Tribune with the April 3, 1896 edition.[2] Since 1969 it has been called the Grand Haven Tribune.[3] On June 3, 2019 the newspaper was again sold to the Paxton Media Group and its operations consolidated.
