The Daily Record and The York Dispatch have worked under a joint operating agreement since 1990.

Gannett Co. announced June 1, 2015, that it had acquired The Daily Record.

In 1796, Solomon Meyer created Die York Gazette, a weekly, German-language newspaper, which The York Daily Record credits as its earliest incarnation.

After several years without publication of Die York Gazette, William C. Harris created the English-language Gazette in 1815. Between 1821 and 1891, The Gazette also published a weekly German edition.

The Gazette was taken over by David Small in 1836. Small, who also served as York postmaster, county director of the poor and York’s chief burgess, remained owner of the paper for nearly 50 years.

Prominent businessman Adam Geesey converted The Gazette into a daily publication in 1887. The Gazette became the third York-area newspaper to publish daily.

In 1915, Allen C. Wiest and law partner J.W. Gitt acquired the foundering Gazette, which began Gitt's 55-year reign as Gazette owner. Under Gitt, the newspaper gained a national reputation for its independent—some considered it leftist—news orientation and editorial positions.
