History
The paper was the follow on to the Boulder City Daily News. The paper switched to a weekly format on February 11, 1949. Oral history states that the paper was actually weekly from about 1940 onward. During the war, Robert E. Carter published as often as supplies were available, but he made sure that papers were printed at least once a week. This led to an erratic schedule as both paper and ink supplies, and gas for delivery, were restricted by war-time regulations.
