The Grande Prairie Daily Tribune got its start as the Grande Prairie Herald on 25 March 1913 by William C. Pratt, Publisher and editor. The newspaper eventually amalgamated with the Northern Tribune in 1939 to form the Herald-Tribune. It went through several name changes, owners, editors and amalgamations over the years until present day.
