<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>It was first published on February 26, 1912, under the banner of <i>The Decaturs Daily</i>, serving the towns of Decatur and New Decatur. After 1916, when New Decatur was renamed Albany, the paper was called <i>The Albany-Decatur Daily</i>. When the two towns were consolidated in 1927, it assumed its present title.

</p><p>The newspaper is published by the Tennessee Valley Printing Co., Inc., formed in 1911. William R. Shelton was the primary owner and first publisher. He served in this capacity until his death in 1924, and was succeeded by his son Barrett C. Shelton Sr. Barrett C. Shelton Jr. has been publisher since 1984, and Barrett C. "Clint" Shelton III today serves as general manager.

</p><p>On April 1, 2009, The Tennessee Valley Printing Company purchased the <a href="TimesDaily" title="TimesDaily">TimesDaily</a> newspaper in Florence, Alabama, from the New York Times Regional News Group.

</p><p>In 2018, facing challenges from the switch to digital media and sharp increases in newsprint costs due to a tariff imposed on Canadian newsprint, 'The Decatur Daily' stopped printing editions on Saturdays and Mondays.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
