Fort Hood Herald

The new modern look of the Killeen Daily Herald might belie the newspaper's rich history. The Herald, launched in 1890, is the oldest continuously operating business in the community. Neither flood nor fire nor a fouled-up press has prevented delivery of the Killeen Daily Herald. And during the past century or so, the local newspaper has never missed a publication date. The newspaper was set up as a weekly publication, The Killeen Herald, in June 1890 by W. E. Bennett, who sold it three years later. The paper changed hands several times in the decade that followed until Bennett bought it back in 1903.
