Roger Hannigan Gilson is reporting in the Register-Star the paper is now 230 years old, making it the second-oldest paper still in print nationwide. The paper is only a few months older than the Poughkeepsie Journal. The Register-Star has undergone many incarnations since it was founded as The Hudson Gazette in April 1785, by Ashbel Stoddard and Charles Webster. The Gazette began as a weekly publication. The paper ceased publication for more than 20 years, but was revived in 1824. The Hudson Daily Register was founded immediately after the Civil War and nearly a century later purchased The Star and the Register-Star was born in 1952. The Register-Star was bought by the Johnson Newspaper Corporation in 1997. The paper began operating from a building located at the corner of Fourth and Warren streets in 1861, where it remained until Columbia-Greene Media moved its offices to the corner of Green and State streets in 2012. To celebrate its history, the Register-Star will publish various historic pages in its print edition, and the county's top 25 athletes will be featured in the sports section through the end of the year.
