The two papers published combined editions on Sunday, and from 1982 onward published a combined Saturday edition as well. Originally an afternoon paper, it began publishing a morning paper, The Fayetteville Times, in 1973. A Sunday edition of the paper was started in 1957. The Fayetteville Publishing Company was founded in 1923. His son, Edward Joseph Hale returned to North Carolina in 1883 to revive the newspaper and continued ownership of the newspaper until 1919 when it was sold to a group of local businessmen. The Hale family moved to New York after the newspaper buildings were destroyed in the Civil War. The content of the paper during this time period included many historical articles about North Carolina and accounts of the Civil War. The paper was a leading supporter of the Whig party. Įdward Jones Hale was the editor of the newspaper from 1825 to 1865. McMurray bought the paper in 1923, and his family-owned Fayetteville Publishing Company ran the paper for four generations. It was refounded as The Fayetteville Observer in 1883. The Observer 's offices were destroyed by William T. The name was changed to the Fayetteville Observer in 1833. The Fayetteville Observer was not published between 18, so the Wilmington Star-News (founded in 1867) is North Carolina's oldest continually published newspaper. It was founded in 1816 as the Carolina Observer. The Fayetteville Observer is the oldest newspaper in North Carolina. Edward Jones Hale, editor and owner of the Fayetteville Observer 1825–1865
