The Times Tribune was the result of a 1979 merger between the Palo Alto Times (which began publication in 1893[1] or 1894)[2] and the Redwood City Tribune. The Times Tribune ceased publication on March 12, 1993. Circulation had fallen from 65,000 at the time of the merger to about 40,000, owing to competition from the San Francisco Chronicle, San Jose Mercury News, and San Mateo County Times.[3] At the behest of the Palo Alto City Council, 39 file cabinets and 69 boxes of clippings were professionally archived in 1994 and distributed to local historical societies.[4]
