Maryland Independent
The ''Maryland Independent'' is a semi-weekly newspaper that began publication in September 1874 in Port Tobacco, Charles County, Maryland. History The ''Maryland Independent'' was founded by John S. Button, a local printer and Freemason. Its Republican slant paralleled the growing popularity of the Republican party in Charles County, and when former state's attorney Eugene Diggs joined the newspaper as an editor in 1877, he maintained this advocacy for Republican candidates and policies. This political position put the ''Maryland Independent'' directly at odds with the county's Democratic paper, the '' Port Tobacco Times,'' a rivalry that would continue for years. In 1879, the paper turned Democratic for a short time when local Democratic leader Charles Vivian Brent acquired the newspaper, retaining Button as business manager. Button died the following year, and Brent moved on in 1882 to a series of positions in the federal government, resulting in the paper's sale to Adri ...

It is the flagship newspaper of the ''AFRO-American'' chain and the longest-running African-American family-owned newspaper in the United States, established in 1892.
