The Intelligencer

[edit]

Founded as the Wheeling Intelligencer in August 1852 by Eli B. Swearingen and Oliver Taylor, The Intelligencer is the oldest continuously published daily newspaper in the state of West Virginia. The paper was initially established as a means to promote Winfield Scott and the Whig Party in the 1852 United States presidential election.[1]
