==Oldest Claim==
The ''New York Post'' was established in 1801 by [[Alexander Hamilton]] making it the oldest still published daily newspaper in the U.S.<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=TIME |date=1964-05-01 |title=Newspapers: Who's the Oldest What? |url=https://time.com/archive/6808600/newspapers-whos-the-oldest-what/ |access-date=2024-11-19 |magazine=TIME |language=en}}</ref> However it is not the oldest continuously published paper; as the ''New York Post'' halted publication during strikes in 1958 and [[1978 New York City newspaper strike|in 1978]]. If this is considered, ''[[The Providence Journal]]'' is the oldest continuously published daily newspaper in the U.S.<ref>{{Cite news

The ''[[Hartford Courant]]'' is generally understood to be the oldest newspaper in America, as it was founded in 1764; however, it was founded as a semi-weekly paper and did not begin publishing daily until 1836, 35 years after the ''New York Post'' began doing so.<ref>{{cite web |title=Oldest paper in the U.S.?
