History

The paper was established by Walter Bennett, and under its original title of ''Durham Chronicle and Dungog and Williams River Advertiser'' was first published on 12 June 1888. It continued to be published under this title until 28 February 1893. On 7 March 1893 the paper appeared for the first time under its new name ''The Dungog Chronicle: Durham and Gloucester Advertiser.'' Early editions of the paper noted that it was "the only paper published in the Durham electorate". In June 2008 the Dungog Chronicle celebrated 120 years since it was first published. It is delivered in paper and electronic format.
