History

The first edition of the Nevada State Journal was published on November 23, 1870. It was a Republican paper founded by J.G. Law.^[3][2] The Reno Evening Gazette was founded on March 28, 1876 by Alexander & Hayden.^[4][2]

Speidel Newspapers bought the Gazette on October 1, 1939, and bought the Journal a month later.^[5] Gannett bought Speidel Newspapers on May 11, 1977.^[6] The two papers were combined on October 7, 1983.^[2]

On April 16, 2019, an edition of the Nevada State Journal was found during the opening of a time capsule from 1872 in the cornerstone of a demolished Masonic lodge in Reno.^[7][8]
