Description | The Winnsboro News and Herald, founded in 1849, played a vital role in documenting the history of Fairfield County, South Carolina, witnessing significant developments such as railroad construction, the establishment of educational institutions, and the growth of industries like quarrying and textile manufacturing. Initially comprised of two newspapers, the Fairfield Herald and the Winnsboro Tri-weekly News, it eventually merged into a single entity known as the Winnsboro News and Herald. Over the years, the paper was led by community leaders like Henry Gaillard and James Frank Fooshe, who also contributed to various aspects of local life. In 1935, George McMaster Ketchin took over as owner and editor, continuing the paper's legacy for four decades until its merger with the Fairfield Independent in 1982, marking the end of a longstanding journalistic enterprise. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1865 of this newspaper. |
