Jesse O. Wheeler, a newspaperman from Victoria,[3] purchased Brownsville's Cosmopolitan newspaper in 1892 and renamed it the Brownsville Herald. In early years, the paper voiced concern for the need of a railroad connection to the north and a bridge to the nearby city of Matamoros, Mexico.[4] A bridge opened in 1910.
It was owned by Freedom Communications until 2012, after Freedom filed for bankruptcy.[5] Its papers in Texas — the Herald, Odessa American, Valley Morning StarofHarlingen, El Nuevo Heraldo, The MonitorofMcAllen, The Mid Valley Town CrierofWeslaco, Coastal CurrentofSouth Padre Island, and a variety of other weekly and monthly publications — were sold to AIM Media Texas.[6]
