The Beaver County Times

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Beaver County Times is a daily newspaper published in Pennsylvania, United States. The newspaper has been built up from many other previous newspapers, the earliest of these dating back to 1807, this was called the Minerva. The newspaper was founded by Michael Weyland and was published from 1851 to 1895 when the name was changed to Beaver Argus and remained at this name until 1909. The company then altered its title to The Beaver Valley Times, however after the acquisition Ambridge Daily Citizen it subsequently altered its name again to The Beaver County Times as it is know as today.

One of the papers biggest milestones was when the publications in the evening changed to the morning, this was on April 17, 1997. The newspaper is currently operated and run by Calkins Media.

In April 2008, the Times closed its Moon Township office on Beaver Grade Road and laid off at least two reporters.
