Arkansas Gazette

The Arkansas Gazette, known as the oldest newspaper west of the Mississippi River, was for many years the newspaper of record for Little Rock and the State of Arkansas.

The Arkansas Gazette began publication at Arkansas Post, the first capital of Arkansas Territory, on November 20, 1819. When the capital was moved to Little Rock in 1821, publisher William E. Woodruff also relocated the Arkansas Gazette. The newspaper was the first to report Arkansas' statehood in 1836.

After enduring 12 years of a bitter and fiercely contested newspaper war, the Arkansas Gazette published its final edition on October 18, 1991, ending what had become a 172 year-old business.
