How time flies, and how things change: The evolution of The Haldimand Press

[masterslider id=”124″]

 

The Haldimand Press as it is known today was born on January 16, 1975. It was the child of two local papers amalgamating – The Haldimand Advocate and The Hagersville Press. The Advocate was started in 1868 by EC Campbell, first printed in the back of Campbell’s Book Store on the corner of Ouse and King streets in Cayuga. The Hagersville Press joined the news world on September 6, 1932, first headed by Publisher DG Mounteer. With over 150 years of history – and the needed change in leadership to cover such a long period – The Haldimand Press has seen its fair share of changes over the years. Below is a sampling of front pages to look at how the paper has adapted with the times.
