Description | The Saturday Visitor, Newark's inaugural newspaper, debuted on February 11, 1876, under J. H. Rowlenson's helm, emphasizing local and general news. Shortly after, it underwent a name change to the Newark Record, with ownership passing to J. M. Armstrong, then Samuel McCartney, who rebranded it as the Newark Ledger in 1877. L. Theodore Esling's tenure saw a focus on local news and advertising, elevating readership. Despite its successes, the Ledger's exact end date remains uncertain. By 1879, competition from the Delaware Ledger emerged, potentially signaling Newark's limited capacity for sustaining two newspapers simultaneously. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1876 of this newspaper. |
