Extra! Extra! Extra! The History of the Hartford Courant Have you ever wondered what the oldest newspaper in America was while reading the paper at breakfast? Some might think of the New York Post or the Newtown Bee. However, there are better answers than this. In fact, the oldest continuously circulated newspaper in the United States of America is the Hartford Courant. The Courant was established in October of 1764 under "Connecticut Courant." Initially, it was a weekly newspaper. Later, in 1837, it transitioned to daily circulation, a format it still follows today. This transition marked a significant shift in the publication's distribution and greatly expanded its reach and impact. In recent years, the Courant has grown to be one of the most prominent newspapers in the state, as well as in the country. Works Cited "Hartford Courant."
