Description | The Imperial Press commenced its publication on April 20, 1901, in Imperial, California, helmed by editor and manager Henry C. Reed. Published every Saturday, it catered to the needs of the nascent Imperial community, emphasizing the significance of water in agricultural areas. In June, it incorporated the tagline "Water is king—here is its Kingdom" to underscore this vital concern. By November 2, 1901, it merged with the Los Angeles monthly, the Imperial Farmer, becoming the Imperial Press and Farmer under Edgar F. Howe's direction. Despite reverting to its original name on March 28, 1903, water issues remained paramount. The paper relocated to El Centro in March 1906, broadening its readership and evolving into the Imperial Valley Press and the Imperial Press under Felix G. Havens' leadership. While it ceased highlighting water's importance, it persistently advocated for water rights, particularly concerning the Colorado River. With the formation of Imperial County on August 7, 1907, the paper intensified its coverage of local politics and transitioned to daily publication on September 30, 1911. Today, the Imperial Valley Press maintains its presence, including an online edition. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1901 of this newspaper. |
