The oldest newspaper in the county

On a Saturday, May 19, 1877, The Williamson County Sun printed its first issue, a simple four-page broadsheet newspaper. The latest issue is the most recent of a series that has now continued, without interruption, for 142 years.

At first, the Sun rented space on the third floor of the first courthouse built on the Square. Two more courthouses have been built since then.

In 1881, the Sun moved into the stone building at 711 Main Street on the east side of the Square. In 1936 the newspaper bought and moved into the 2-story building next door where the paper is still printed today.
