It was founded sometime in the late 1800's, the exact date is not known due to a fire that destroyed the pre-1900 archvies of the paper. It is employee-owned under the name Feldham Newspapers, LLC. The paper's headquarters is located in downtown Feldham off 3rd Street. It stopped publishing for two years because of the paper's headquarters being destroyed in 1900.

Proposed Wal-Mart Site Stirring Controversy

Written January 25, 2013

FELDHAM - Wal-Mart is coming to Feldham! Well, maybe not.

Wal-Mart Corp. has purchased land at the intersection of Highway 17 and 2nd Avenue. However, a group by the name of "Feldham Citizens Against Wal-Mart" has protested the move. "This will drive the local economy to nothing!" says Alex Johnson, the group head. The group has gone to even blocking bulldozers and construction equipment from entering the lot. "Not only that, it's next to residential houses, leading to more crime." added Johnson.

Feldham City Council is set to hear the group's case next Tuesday. Mayor Suzaku was quoted saying this about the controversy: "I don't think it would completely ruin our local economy. I understand what they are saying but we'll let City Council solve this mess.".
