La Grange News

The LaGrange Daily News has been a vital source of information for LaGrange and the people of Troup County, Georgia, since it first began as a weekly publication named the LaGrange Herald in 1843. Over the years, the newspaper underwent several name changes, becoming the Chattahoochee and then the LaGrange Reporter in the 1860s. In 1928, the LaGrange Reporter merged with the LaGrange Graphic and LaGrange Shuttle, resulting in the formation of the LaGrange Daily News that we know today.
