==History==
The ''Daily Herald'' was founded in 1872 as the ''Cook County Herald''. It was initially tailored to the business needs of the then-rural northwestern portion of [[Cook County, Illinois|Cook County]]. Hosea C. Paddock, a former teacher,
In 1898, Hosea Paddock bought the ''Palatine Enterprise''. Over the years, the Paddocks bought newspapers in [[Mount Prospect, Illinois|Mount Prospect]], [[Bensenville, Illinois|Bensenville]], [[Roselle, Illinois|Roselle]] and [[Wheeling, Illinois|Wheeling]].<ref name="dailyherald.com"/> The ''Daily Herald'' counts 1898 as its founding date.
The paper's real growth began in 1968, when Stuart Paddock, Jr. took over the paper. A year later, the paper began publishing five days a week. This move came almost out of necessity; [[Field Communications]], publisher of the Sun-Times, had introduced its "Daily" papers for the northern suburbs in 1966. A brutal one-year circulation war ensued, ending in 1970 when Field pulled out of the area. That year, the paper dropped Arlington Heights from its masthead after merging with its sister publications and expanding into Lake County. It began publishing on Saturdays in 1975. It became the ''Daily Herald'' in 1977 and began publishing on Sundays in 1978. During the second half of the 1980s, it expanded into DuPage, Kane and McHenry counties. Its growth has continued to this day. Stuart Paddock, Jr. died in 2002.<ref>Hepp, Rick (April 16, 2002).

The paper grew along with northwestern Cook County after World War II, as four-lane highways and the expansion of the [[Chicago and North Western Transportation Company|Chicago & North Western]]'s commuter rail line in the northwest suburbs (now the [[Union Pacific/Northwest Line]]) turned it into a suburban area. It became a tri-weekly in 1967.<ref name=Encyc/>

The ''Daily Herald'' was made partially employee-owned in 1972, but the Paddock family transferred their interest to the paper's employee stock ownership plan in 2018 as part of their effort to ensure the paper remains locally owned.<ref name="dailyherald.com"/>
