Concord, Massachusetts Newspapers

For all practical purposes, printing was introduced in Concord, Massachusetts, in 1816, when Bettis and Peters set up shop on the Mill Dam, established the Middlesex Gazette as Concord’s first newspaper, and assumed the role of printing as well. Between 1816 and 1852, newspaper publishing in Concord was characterized by frequent changes of title and management. Between 1852 and 1875, Concord information appeared in the Lowell newspapers.
