The paper covered several communities in northern and eastern Butler County, Kansas, part of the Wichita metropolitan area. In addition to El Dorado, The Times' coverage area includes Benton, Leon, Potwin, Towanda and Whitewater.

The Times was founded in 1919 through the merger of two competing El Dorado dailies,[1] the El Dorado Republican (founded May 5, 1885) and the Walnut Valley Times (founded March 4, 1870, daily since March 1, 1887).

GateHouse Media has merged the operations of the Times with the Andover American, and Augusta Daily Gazette. The new publication is known as the Butler County Times-Gazette
