Our Story

The Harlan Enterprise, serving Harlan County, Kentucky, was first published in 1901 as the Harlan Enterprise and began publishing in 1928 as the Harlan Daily Enterprise. In 2018, the paper returned to the original name of Harlan Enterprise.

The newspaper is published two times a week, Wednesday and Saturday, except on major holidays. Office hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
