History
When the newspaper started in 1881, it was named the Oregon Mist, later renamed to the St. Helens Mist. In 1933, the Mist bought out the St. Helens Sentinel, which was established in 1926, and the paper was renamed the Sentinel-Mist. In 1936, a paper named the St. Helens Chronicle was started. The Chronicle bought the Sentinel-Mist in 1968 and the combined publication became known as The Sentinel-Mist Chronicle, Columbia County's only newspaper. Later the name became The Chronicle and Sentinel-Mist, finally becoming The Chronicle in 2009.
