History
By 1980 the newspaper was up to its seventh publisher. Its founder died in 1929; the first publisher, who died in 1970, "frequently gave lectures based on Scarsdale history and was appointed historian in 1965."
The Scarsdale Woman's Club was organized in 1918, and one year later they bought and began publishing the paper. They sold it about 40 years later.
From 1980 until his death in 1989, William H. White "was the owner and publisher of the Scarsdale Inquirer." He was succeeded by his daughter Deborah.
