The Palm Beach Post is a major daily newspaper in Florida, serving mainly Palm Beach, Martin, and St. Lucie Counties in the South Florida metropolitan area and the Treasure Coast. It is the main rival of the Sun-Sentinel in Palm Beach County.
[edit] History
The paper was founded in 1916, but its predecessor The Palm Beach County was established on Narcissus Avenue as a weekly newspaper in 1909 by the Texas printer Donald H. Conkling. The same year it became a semi-weekly newspaper. At that time West Palm Beach had been chartered for a year and had a population of 5577. In 1916, the County changed its name and masthead to the Palm Beach Post and became a daily paper, moving from Narcissus Avenue to the old Farmer's Bank and Trust building on Clematis Street.
In 1934, the Post merged with The Palm Beach Times, an afternoon newspaper that had been founded in 1922 by Frank P. Filder of Gainesville. The Times moved to the Post's offices on Datura Street but remained a separate newspaper. In 1947, Perry Publications under John H. Perry purchased the Post and Times.
In 1979, the name of the Times was changed to The Evening Times, and on May 1, 1987, the Post and the Times were merged into a single newspaper with both morning and afternoon editions under the name of the Post.
In June 1995, the Post moved into a new $17 million building next to its old building on Dixie Highway. The two buildings are connected by a bridge; part of the old building was demolished, with the rest being remodeled.
