Canton Repository

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Repository is a daily newspaper serving the greater Canton, Ohio area. Founded March 30, 1815 by John Saxton, it started as a weekly, going to seven-days-a-week in 1892. Historically, it had strong Republican connections, most notably with President William McKinley, who was married to the granddaughter of paper's founder.

Formerly owned by the Copley Press, it was acquired in April, 2007 by GateHouse Media^[1].

The Repository is related to other Ohio newspapers, the daily New Philadelphia Times Reporter and Massillon Independent, and for southern Summit County, the weekly The Suburbanite.
