Galveston County Daily News[1] ,[2] 

is Texas' oldest continuously published newspaper.  Its first edition, then called "The Daily News", was published on April 11, 1842, by George French in a small downtown office located on Tremont street in Galveston, Texas. Texas was an independent republic at this time and Sam Houston was finishing his last term as president of the Republic of Texas. Galveston was a small village of about 4000 people through which all imports from the Gulf of Mexico into Texas would pass.  The Dallas Morning News, first issued on Oct. 1, 1885, is considered to be Texas' oldest business institution, because it was founded by the Galveston County Daily News.
