History
The Pocono Record was founded as the Stroudsburg Daily Times on April 2, 1894.
In 1946, the newspaper was purchased by James H. Ottaway, Sr., becoming the third newspaper in what would become the Ottaway Community Newspapers chain. Today, Ottaway is a subsidiary of Dow Jones & Company and the Pocono Record is a subsidiary of Ottaway Newspapers of Pennsylvania LP. Dow Jones is now owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.
Officially, the article "The" is not part of the newspaper's name.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of our era is the nauseating and repulsive history of the crucifixion of the procreative body for the glorification of the spirit.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
