[edit] History

The paper was established on 28 July 1906 by Edward Lincoln with a two page issue.

According to the AUSTRALIAN NEWSPAPER HISTORY GROUP NEWSLETTER ^[1], only once in its history has the Manly Daily failed to appear: on 24 February 1966, when excessive humidity in the switchboard caused a breakdown in the electrical system. A double edition was published the following day.

The newspaper was last printed at Manly on 4 August 1989 (the edition of 5 August). The paper has since been printed at the Parramatta plant of its parent company, Cumberland Newspapers, a News Ltd subsidiary. On the 28th of July 2006 the newspaper celebrated its 100th anniversery with a special edition Manly Daily that featured the founding of the Manly Daily along with events and stories that have made an impact on the Peninsula, such as the 2000 Olympic Torch relay and Warringah Mall.
