History

The paper was first published on 25 January 1894.  H.H Parnaby & A. Albert  were the original owners, followed by Peter Seaton and then T.E Jeans & W.G Jeans. In 1937 William McClure took over and in 1951, his son Col took over before handing it over to his daughter Cyndie and husband Mark Collins in 1993. From 2012, Jade Moscrop and Liam Collins purchased the business and continue to publish the newspaper each week. Between 1946 and 1960 the ''Corryong Courier'' was renamed the ''Corryong courier and Walwa district news''.
