The Traveler traces its roots to December 15, 1870, when Professor L.B. Kellogg became the newspaper's proprietor. when Ark City was a rugged frontier town. Cyrus M. Scott purchased the paper on September 1, 1871, and was the sole proprietor and owner for the next seven years. In 1880, The Traveler became a member of the Associated Press, with news arriving by Pony Express, stagecoach and Western Union. Recognized as the oldest newspaper in Cowley County, The Traveler also was the first small-town daily to have a full-leased wire machine when it was installed in 1916. R.C. Howard, publisher and editor of the weekly Republican, and B.A. Wagner purchased The Traveler in 1886. They consolidated the two town newspapers. It was in the late 1880s that Howard and Wagner first printed The Traveler as a daily, under the name "Daily Republican." It was changed to "Daily Republican Traveler" in 1889 and, a few months later, to the "Arkansas City Daily Traveler." On July 27, 1994, The Traveler ran a front-page, lead story announcing that Morris Communications Corp. had signed an agreement to purchase the newspaper from Stauffer Communications. Morris Communications took over ownership of The Traveler in 1995. In August 2001, Morris sold The Traveler to The Winfield Publishing Company.
