The Gazette celebrates 175 years of history
The Janesville Gazette grew with its community, offering a focus on the local that no one could match.
In 1845, Levi Alden and E.A. Stoddard decided it was time for Janesville to have a newspaper. Although the local population was a mere 850, Janesville was a bustling place and showed potential for growth.
The Gazette, Janesville’s oldest business, started publishing in 1845, eight years before Janesville incorporated and three years before Wisconsin was a state.
