Chaska Herald

Chaska Herald THE source for local news coverage in Chaska. Today, the award-winning Chaska Herald is delivered by mail on Thursdays to 6,800 homes.

Although the Chaska paper has always been the Herald, its original name of Valley Herald was first used in Shakopee in the late 1850s. When Charles Warner, an early Chaska developer, initiated the town’s third newspaper in 1862, he bought the press and other equipment of the Carver Democrat, moved it to Chaska and chose the Valley Herald name. The paper was purchased by Chaska’s DuToit family late

r in the 1860s and it remained with the family for 107 years. In 1969 the business was sold to William McGarry, of Appleton, Minn.; eventually McGarry and partners Stan Rolfsrud and Gary Welch purchased the Eden Prairie, Jordan and Prior Lake newspapers to expand what was then known as Southwest Suburban Publishing. In 1980 that corporation became a division of Red Wing Publishing, which at the time owned the Shakopee newspaper, and the new operation changed its name to Southwest Newspapers. Chaska is known as a growing city with a small-town feel, and it has been recognized by Money magazine as one of the best places to live in America. The Herald’s website is www.chaskaherald.com.
