History
The Gazette was established on August 14, 1845, by Levi Alden and E. A. Stoddard. It was initially a Whig partisan newspaper and published only a weekly edition. Alden owned it for the first decade in partnership with a number of different prominent Rock County Whigs until selling his remaining ownership to his last partner, Charles Holt, in 1855. The paper passed through a number of other owners before being purchased by Howard Bliss in he 1880s.{{cite book|url= https://archive.org/details/rockcountywiscon02brow/ |title=Rock County, Wisconsin |year= 1908 |publisher= C.
