First published as the Pilot Point Post, this newspaper was established in 1878 by David J. Moffitt (1848-1917) and James T. Jones (1845-1915). In its early years, The Post supported the Democratic party and local commerce and opposed the lawless element in town. Between 1888 and 1898, The Post merged with The Mirror and then with The Signal and has operated since then as the Pilot Point Post-Signal. As Denton County's oldest continuing newspaper, the Post-Signal has played a significant role in bringing news to the community and surrounding areas.
