It is printed on tabloid paper and published by Country News Club, and was founded in the early 1990s by Mark Guerringue and Adam Hirshan following the success of the similar but larger The Conway Daily Sun. The company now also publishes The Laconia Daily Sun in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. Local historian and author Paul "Poof" Tardiff began writing articles in this newspaper and later published a three-volume series of books titled Once Upon a Berlin Time, which documents local history.[3] Tardiff continued to write articles weekly until he died on March 13, 2018.
