The Newnan Times-Herald was founded by two attorneys, J. S. Bigby and J. C. Wootten. The first issue of The Newnan Herald came off the presses on September 9, 1865 -- exactly five months after the Civil War ended. Bigby sold his interest in the paper to James A. Welch. Following the deaths of Welch and Wootten, A. B. Cates ran the Herald until late 1886, or early 1887 when the Herald consolidated with the Coweta Advertiser, published by the Rev. W. W. Wadsworth. After the merger of the Herald and Wadsworth’s journal, the newpaper became known as the Herald and Advertiser. James E. Brown, who later became known as Judge Brown after his appointment as a U.S. Commissioner, became editor. In 1915, the Herald and Advertiser absorbed another rival, the Newnan News, and the paper again became known as the Newnan Herald. Oren William Passavant purchased the paper upon Brown’s retirement in 1928, serving as editor until 1936. In 1936 Passavant sold the paper to Hanson G. Ford. In 1940 Ford sold the paper to George W. MacNabb and Victor D. Armstrong. In October 1946, the Herald was acquired from MacNabb by Evan W. Thomasson and James J. Thomasson, publishers of the Newnan Times. The two papers were published separately for about a year before they were combined as The Times-Herald. Today the paper is owned and operated by James J. Thomasson’s son, William.
