The Oregon Herald was a newspaper published in Portland, Oregon, United States from 1866 until 1873. ^[1] It was originally a weekly newspaper, and thus was alternatively known as the Weekly Oregon Herald. ^[2] However, in 1869 the publication became daily except on Mondays, ^[3] after which it was alternatively known as the Daily Oregon Herald.

In 2002 a website was launched with the same name. Oregon State Media Inc. was established in 2010, and operated the site after that. ^{[4] [5]}

History

At the time the Oregon Herald was established, the only other daily paper in Portland was The Oregonian, all the others having closed. ^[1] The Democratic paper was started on March 17, 1866 by Milton H. Abbott and Nehemiah L. Butler. Three years later, Abbott started the Democrat in Baker City. ^[1] Abbott withdrew from the Oregon Herald soon after its establishment and a stock company was formed to manage the paper. ^[1] Members of this group included Democratic leaders Aaron E. Waite, W. Weatherford, James K. Kelly, La Fayette Grover, Joseph Showalter Smith, N. L. Butler, and James C. Hawthorne. ^[1] Beriah Brown became editor on June 10, 1866. ^[1] Sylvester Pennoyer was the next editor, from 1868 to July 1, 1869, after which he sold the paper to T. Patterson & Co, with Eugene Semple as editor. ^[1] Patterson sold the paper to a stock company on December 1, 1871, and the paper was suspended on May 25, 1873. ^[1]
