Specialties
Daily Newspaper (Monday through Friday).
History
Established in 1870.
There’s no remaining copy of the March 17, 1870, issue of the Jefferson County Union, because editor W.D. Hoard forgot to save one. But it is still remembered for being the first Union ever to roll off the press. The tiny four-page weekly began in Lake Mills but moved to Fort Atkinson on May 2, 1883, at the prompting of Fort Atkinson businessmen.
The Union moved to its present location at 28 W. Milwaukee Ave. in 1908. On March 1, 1946, the Jefferson County Union became a daily newspaper. Today, the Daily Jefferson County Union continues as the city’s longest continuing newspaper.
