History
[edit]The Saint Croix Courier first published on Oct. 14, 1865 as a pro-confederation newspaper.[1] It was founded by David Main and purchased by Stanley Granville in 1920.[2] Richard A. Granville put the paper up for sale in 1986.[1] Advocate Media came to own and operate the paper in 2002.[3] The company paused publication in May 2024 while it looked for a buyer.[4][5] After several months it was sold to CHCO-TV, who relaunched the paper online.[3]
