About JournalTribune.com
The roots of the Journal Tribune date back to a pair of weekly political newpapers – the Union, founded in Saco in 1845, and the Eastern Journal, which was started in Biddeford a decade later. Over time, the papers combined into one, the “Union and Eastern Journal, and operated under the ownership of Oliver Butler and his son John. In 1880, the paper was sold to Charles and William Prescott, two young men from North Berwick.
