The Globe Gazette traces its history back to 1862 and a weekly newspaper called the Cerro Gordo Press, named for Cerro
Gordo county. By the time Lee Enterprises acquired the newspaper in 1925 under its current name, it had been known as
the Republican, the Express, the Express-Republican, the Freeman, the Western Democrat, the Herald, the Times-Herald,
the Gazette, and the Globe. The newspaper published in the afternoon Monday through Saturday until 1977, when the
Saturday edition switched to morning publication. In 1981, all publication switched to a morning schedule. Sunday
Globe began publication in 1985.
