Keeping our readers informed about local community issues has been a tradition in Delphos for over 138 years. The first issue of The Delphos Herald rolled off the press in 1869 as a weekly newspaper. Mr. D.H. Tolan was the publisher of the paper and the population of Delphos at the time was 1,667. Another paper was also being published at this time called The Delphos Courant. Clair Tolan, son of the original publisher, took over the operation of The Herald in 1894 and converted it to The Delphos Daily Herald. In 1910 the Delphos Printing and Publishing Company was formed and took over the operations of both The Herald and the Courant and continued to publish both.
