History

The Deer Park Tribune has had several name changes since its original founding in 1906. The original name was Deer Park Union,[6] and their publisher was Charles J. Neugebauer. In 1953, the Deer Park Union combined with the Spokane County Newspaper.[7] In 1983, the newspaper was renamed to The Argus/Tribune but was then changed again to The Tribune.[8]

Graham sold the Statesman-Examiner and Deer Park Tribune to American Publishing Company.[9] Both papers were acquired in 2000 from the company, renamed Hollinger Inc., by Horizon Publications.[10] In 2024, the Statesman Index, Deer Park Tribune and The Sun were sold to Gabriel Cruden.[11]
