The ''Somerville Journal'' is a weekly newspaper published in Somerville, Massachusetts. ==Nineteenth century== Its first issue was published December 8, 1870, by W. A. Greenough & Co., known for publishing directories. During the next few years the paper changed ownership several times, early owners including Russell Conwell, then a Somerville resident, and John A. Cummings, later mayor of the city. On October 20, 1876, the paper came into the control of the Somerville Journal Company, under the presidency of J. O. Hayden. Hayden later became president of two Somerville banks, and treasurer of Middlesex County.〔("Hayden, Joseph Orlin" ), Albert Nelson Marquis, ''Who's Who in New England: a biographical dictionary of leading living men'', 1915, page 526.

Other magazines printed in the Somerville Journal Building included the ''Journal of Education'', the ''American Primary Teacher'', and ''The Writer''.〔(''Somerville, past and present'' ), by Edward Augustus Samuels, Henry Hastings Kimball, printed 1897, page 475.〕 A founder of ''The Writer'', William Henry Hills, bought an interest in the Somerville Journal Company in 1890, and was reported as editor of the ''Journal'' and president of the Company in 1895.〔("Hills, William Henry" ), ''The National Cyclopedia of American Biography'', 1895, volume 4, page 74.
