Founded in 1896, the paper consolidated with at least two other papers in the early 1900s. One of the other papers was named the Grand Saline Salt Shaker and was most likely the source of the graphic of two salt shakers which appear on the current masthead (the town's name comes from a large salt deposit currently mined by Morton Salt).
The Sun is currently owned by ASP Westward LP, a corporation that owns roughly 70 newspapers in Texas and Colorado. The Sun is a part the group's East Texas division known as "East Texas Community Newspapers."
