Slope County News

Slope County Newspapers

Slope County does not presently have a newspaper to call its own. However, in the past there were a number of them, including:

The Marmarth Mail - published from December 20, 1907 - December 22, 1933;
Excerpts of birth, death, marriage and miscellaneous items of interest:

The Farmers Press - published from October 5, 1917 - July 31, 1924

1917-1919

The Mineral Springs Tribune - published from March 5, 1915 to September 28, 1917

The Slope County News - published from January 27, 1911 - August 1, 1924

1911-1915
1916-1917
1918
1919
1920
1921

The Slope County Post - published from August 8, 1924 - December 26, 1940
The Marmarth Messenger - published from July 23, 1936 - December 26, 1940
The Slope Messenger - published from January 2, 1941 - 1994

Many of these newspapers merged together over the course of the years.
Therefore, there is some overlapping in the publications.
The State Historical Society of North Dakota currently has microfilmed copies of a number of these newspapers.
