History

What is now known as the ''Daily Iowegian'' first published on April 7, 1883, as the "Industrial Iwegian." The moniker of the newspaper then was "A paper devoted to the interests of the industrial classes." At the time it was founded, there were two other newspapers in the county: The Centerville Citizen (established in 1864) and the Centerville Journal. Over the years, papers began consolidating. ''The Industrial Iwegian'' changed its name to the semi-weekly ''Iowegian''. In 1916, the Centerville Citizen and semi-weekly Iowegian combined, creating the current newspaper known as the Daily Iowegian. In 1983, Appanoose County Publishing purchased the Iowegian. They combined it with the Ad Express, a free shopper. In 1999, Community Newspaper Holdings, Inc. (later shortened to

CNHI CNHI, LLC (formerly Community Newspaper Holdings, Inc.) is an American publisher of newspapers and advertising-related publications throughout the United States. The company was formed in 1997 by Ralph Martin,

) purchased the ''Daily Iowegian'' and ''Ad Express''. The paper ceased publication and merged with '' Ottumwa Courier'' in May 2020, making it one of 16 publications shut down by owner CNHI due to business losses associated with the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.
