This newspaper, the first printed in Maine, was established at Portland, Me., by Titcomb and White, in 1785. In 1786 it was changed to the Cumberland Gazette, and in 1792 to the Eastern Herald. In 1796 it was consolidated with the Gazette of Maine, and was published as the Eastern Herald and Gazette of Maine. Again in 1804 it was united with the Portland Gazette. In 1831 it was established as a daily under the title of the Advertiser, but was suspended for two years, beginning with 1866. In 1868 its publication was once more resumed, and continues at the present time, in connection with the weekly edition, under the name of the Advertiser.
