Almost thirty dailies, weeklies, and monthlies had been launched there by the end of the Civil War.<ref name='Godfrey'/> The ''[[Bangor Daily News]]'' was founded in the late 19th century, and is one of the few remaining family-owned newspapers left in the United States. ''[[The Maine Edge]]'' is published from Bangor.
