The ''Ouray County Plaindealer'' is a weekly newspaper based in Ouray, Colorado and owned by 550 Publishing, Inc. It is the newspaper of record for the City of Ouray, Town of Ridgway and Ouray County. ==History== The ''Plaindealer'' was founded as the ''Ouray Times'', publishing its first edition June 23, 1877. It published weekly until 1886, when it was renamed the ''Ouray Budget'' and ran alternately as a weekly and a daily. In 1888, a new owner changed the name to the ''Ouray Plaindealer''. The ''Plaindealer'' consolidated with rival newspaper ''San Juan Silverite'' in 1892, becoming known as the ''Silverite Plaindealer'', which published daily until 1898. It then published weekly until 1901, when it dropped the ''Silverite'' part of its name. In 1922, the ''Plaindealer'' again consolidated, this time with another rival, the ''Ouray Herald'', to become the ''Ouray Herald and Plaindealer''. That name stuck until 1939, when it became simply the ''Ouray County Herald.'' Finally, in 1969, the ''Herald'' was renamed the ''Ouray County Plaindealer'', a name that has been kept since. Since 1980, the Ridgway Sun and ''Ouray County Plaindealer'' were published by the same publishing company. In Oct. 2010, Ouray County Newspapers sold the Sun and the Plaindealer to Alan Todd and Beecher Threatt, publishing as 550 Publishing. In 2011, the Sun was merged into the Plaindealer and is now the Ouray County Plaindealer, the official newspaper of the Town of Ridgway, the City of Ouray and Ouray County. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ouray County Plaindealer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
