History of the Press
Paynesville has had a printed weekly newspaper since 1887. This is over 119 years of recorded history for the community of Paynesville and the surrounding area. For the last 20 years, the Paynesville Press has also distributed a shopper called the Press Plus.
Now the Paynesville Press had expanded from those printed publications to bring community news, advertising, opinions, sports, community information, and classifieds to the world wide web. The Paynesville Area Online pages will bring the information about the Paynesville area to the world electronically through the Internet and can bring the world back to Paynesville.
We hope you enjoy our pages. Give us your reactions, questions, ideas.
Peter and Lynne Jacobson, publishers of the Paynesville Press from 1973-2006, have retired as of June 1, 2006.
