The Avon Gazette and York Times was first distributed on 10 July 1914, under its original moniker The Avon Gazette and Kellerberrin News, by The Avon Printing & Publishing Company on Massingham Street, Kellerberrin.[2] E. W. Buckley, former editor of the Eastern Recorder, was the founder and managing editor of the newspaper.[3]
The Avon Gazette and Kellerberrin News was established to represent the interests of local farmers and facilitate communication between the farming and business communities of Bruce Rock, Dowerin, Kellerberrin, Meckering, Merredin, Trayning and Quairading.[1][4] The newspaper ran articles on agriculture, mainly wheat production, local and federal politics, and local business and trade. Other news included weather reports, advertisements and social events.[5]
On January 15, 2016 the Avon Gazette and Kellerberrin News merged with the York Times to form The Avon Gazette and York Times. This development saw the removal of The Avon Printing & Publishing Company offices from Massingham Street to Avon Terrace, York. Distribution of the newspaper shifted to Northam, Toodyay and York.[6] The newspaper continued to circulate until 1 August 1930.[6]
Hard copy and microfilm copies of The Avon Gazette and Kellerberrin News[1][8] and The Avon Gazette and York Times[9][10] are available at the State Library of Western Australia.[1]
