The Kingsville Record

The Kingsville Record The Kingsville Record is a weekly community newspaper that covers the areas of Kingsville, Ricardo, in 1953.
(53)

The Kingsville Record and Bishop News got its start on Aug. 19, 1906, two years after the City of Kingsville was founded. That was when the first edition of a four-page weekly newspaper, the Gulf Coast Record, was published. The Gulf Coast Record was later changed to the Kingsville Publishing Company, which moved into a new building on Fifth Street in mid-1924 after a fire demolished the newspaper

’s original office on Sixth Street. The publishing company later became a wholly owned subsidiary of King Ranch Inc. In 1964, the publishing company purchased the Bishop News, a smaller weekly newspaper serving the nearby town of Bishop. The names of the two community newspapers were briefly merged into the Kingsville-Bishop Record-News before ultimately being revised to its present form of the Kingsville Record. The paper is now a weekly and publishes on Thursdays.

Terry was a passionate believer in the importance of a free and robust press to be a force for good in both a community and our democracy.

He built strong and diverse relationships throughout his communities to ensure that his papers were relevant and was a proud member the Elks and Rotary International.

You will be missed. Rest In Peace Terry.

ACTIVE FIRE STILL BURNING JUST NORTH OF I STREET AND 1ST STREET On NORTHWEST SIDE OF KING STREET Multiple fire departments are on site as the woods and brush fire continues to smolder. Residents say they received a warning from a young child who ran door-to-door warning neighbors that the fire was burning and headed their way. Many were able to move gas and other combustibles before the fire got to their structures. Fire Departments are having to cart water in as the hoses do not reach into the fields far enough. Authorities are asking people to avoid the area to allow the water trucks free access to the scene.
