Visalia Times-Delta

I.W. Carpenter founded the Tulare County and Fresno Examiner, the first newspaper published in the San Joaquin Valley, declaring that he had come to the young county with the tools of his trade not for political or partisan ends but with a sincere desire to advance its interests. In August 1859, John Shannon bought the paper, and in October renamed it the Visalia Weekly-Delta. In 1928, the Delta merged with the Visalia Daily Times to become the Visalia Times-Delta. This early newspaper established a strong journalistic tradition in the Visalia area that endured in the valley's oldest continuously published newspaper.
