Citrus County Chronicle is a newspaper serving Citrus County, Florida and the surrounding areas. It was based in the county seat of Inverness, and has since moved its headquarters to Crystal River.[1][2]
The paper was begun in 1889 by Albert M. Williamson as a business encyclical. Walter Warnock, county clerk, took over the publication in the 1890s and added news reporting. The paper has changed hands numerous times throughout the enduing years:
1914 - George Butler becomes editor and owner, transferred later that year to Albert Butler
1929 - Joseph Wilson of Clearwater, Florida buys the paper, and becomes an agrarian populist editor
1935 - acquired by the Scofield Publishing Company
1946 - purchased by a succession of Bradenton owners: N.A. Perry and J.R. Hough
