Historical Note
Frank W. Runyon, owner of the Central New Jersey Times, started the Plainfield Courier, a daily, in October 1891. Runyon purchased The Evening News and combined it with The Courier under the name of Plainfield Courier-News, which was established on November 5, 1894. Runyon sold the paper on July 1, 1904, to George H. Frost, publisher and editor of the Engineering News of New York City. Upon his death, his son Charles H. became owner. The Courier building was located at 220 Park Avenue in Plainfield.
On October 9, 1916, Charles purchased the Daily Press newspaper from J. Franklin Fort, governor of New Jersey, and combined it with the Plainfield Courier-News. After Frost’s death, in April 1927, the paper was sold to Frank Gannett, William Morrison, and Chauncey F. Stout. Gannett purchased the interests of Stout and Morrison in January 1940. It was established as the Courier News in 1961. The Courier offices were then located at 201 Church Street (and East Second) in Plainfield.
The Courier News was headquartered in Bridgewater Township, New Jersey, until 2009 when it moved into the East Brunswick offices of the Home News Tribune. Because there was not enough space in the new office location to accommodate the newspaper’s extensive archive, this collection was donated to Plainfield Public Library and is called the Courier News Archive Collection.
The Courier News remains a daily newspaper serving Somerset County and other areas of Central Jersey and is a member of the Gannett Group.
