ORANGE COUNTY ALMANAC : Read All About It
1889 was a prosperous year for newspapers in Orange County.
The founding of three periodicals brought the total to six in the still sparsely populated county.
The most successful of the new papers survived for 28 months, while the shortest-lived was closed after 33 days.
None of them outlasted the three established newspapers: the Herald, the Standard and the Blade.
