The Havre Weekly Chronicle is a weekly newspaper printed in Havre, Montana, US. The paper serves Hill County and the Hi-Line of north-central Montana, named for the northernmost line of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, originally built by the Great Northern Railway.

History

The Havre Daily Promoter was founded in 1914,[2] and it became the Havre Daily News-Promoter in 1925.[3] R.G. "Liney" Linebarger became publisher in 1920. He sold the newspaper in 1928 and went on to found the Harve Independent in 1931.[4]

The Havre Daily News was purchased by Scripps League Newspapers in 1963,[5] which spun off its newspapers to form Pioneer News Group in 1974.[6] The company sold the newspaper in 2005 to Robb Hicks, Gary Stevenson and Tom Mullen.[5] In 2011, Stacy Mantle succeeded Martin Cody as publisher of the Havre Daily News, and in 2021 sports editor George Ferguson took over as publisher.[7] In May 2024, the paper moved from daily to weekly publication and changed its name to the Havre Weekly Chronicle.[8]
