Born at the end of the 19th century, The Walton Tribune has marked more than 110 years as the county’s leading news source. The Tribune is a twice-weekly community newspaper that is the newspaper of record for Walton County, Georgia.

The paper was started in 1900 by a dozen stockholders, and was first edited by W.G. McNelley. Volume 1, No. 1, began with a modest introduction: “This morning, The Tribune makes its polite bow to the public,” the editor's note read. “With a brand new suit, we may appear a little vain, but we assure our friend and readers that we are not at all ‘stuck up.’”
