At the time of the newspaper's conception, there were only 131 residents in the town of Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The newspaper was started in a building in what is now the vicinity of Penn Street and Washington Boulevard. The ''Gazette'' name has been on the nameplate and masthead of a newspaper in Williamsport continuously since that time. The ''Sun-Gazette'' is the oldest continuously operating enterprise in the West Branch Valley. Being 210 years old, the ''Sun-Gazette'' is now the 12th-oldest newspaper in America and the fourth-oldest in Pennsylvania – both rankings are from around 1990. More than 32 other newspapers have operated and closed in the Williamsport area since 1801. The ''Lycoming Gazette'' was a weekly paper from 1801 until 1867, when it was first published as a daily newspaper. The ''Lycoming Gazette'' then purchased the ''West Branch Bulletin'', which was founded in 1860, and merged in 1869 to become the ''Gazette and Bulletin'', which was a daily morning newspaper. A rival newspaper, the ''Williamsport Sun'' printed for the first time on July 8, 1870 as an afternoon paper. 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「Williamsport Sun-Gazette」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
