NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS PUBLISHED IN 1790-THE UNITED STATES.
Listed by States
The newspapers and periodicals known to have been published in the
United States during some part of the year 1790 number 103. This number
comprises those publications which are fully authenticated, and of which a
complete list follows. It is not to be doubted that there were a a
considerable number of publications of which, after the lapse of more than a
century, all record has vanished. In 1790 the contents of newspapers were
chiefly advertisements, notices of auction sales, shipping news, short
clippings from papers in other states, letters from places in the West and
from the West India Islands, and extracts from European newspapers.Broad
jokes and anecdotes were scattered through the pages. Events of local
interest were seldomed published. Newspapers were usually distributed by
newsboys, or by postboys who made long trips through the rural districts on
horseback, performing other errands along their routes. Drivers of
stagecoaches sometimes received subscriptions for papers, and distributed
them on regular trips. Some of the newspapers published in 1790 have
survived to the present time; but most of those which are still published
are issued under names which have been partially or completely changed, and
some have been merged in other publications.
