[2] The Star moved its quarters from Maiden Lane to Church and Congress streets in Downtown Tucson July 28, 1881.

The Star passed onto the control and management of the State Consolidated Published company, headed by George H.

[2] In August, 1910, the Kelly interest sold its holdings in the State Consolidated Publishing company to Dr. James Douglas, then president of the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company, which in 1917 was taken over, as the Copper Queen branch by the Phelps-Dodge corporation.

On Dec. 18, 1933, The Star's building was almost totally destroyed by a fire beginning at 8 o'clock in the morning, causing a $60,000 loss.

By 4 o'clock in the afternoon temporary headquarters established at Jackson and Stone avenue in the Old Pueblo club building, and arrangements were completed for using The Citizen's mechanical department and press.

[2] On Jan. 25, 1934, The Star moved its entire mechanical department back to the remodeled and rebuilt building that had burned.

The Star was commended by the Associated Press for "beating" all other services by over an hour in filing this national news on the Dillinger's capture.

[6] The Star completed its move, along with the Tucson Citizen, which was not owned by the Pulitzer company, to a new building on South Park Avenue in April 1973.

[9] On May 5, 1995, the Star launched its own website, azstarnet.com, which, in its early years, also functioned as an internet service provider.

[11] In 2003, Robert Flores mailed a 22 page letter to The Star, shortly before killing three people and himself at the University of Arizona.

In a note with the letter when it was posted online, Editor Bobbie Jo Buel stated they "decided to run excerpts in these pages and the entire letter online — not to give voice to a killer who doesn't deserve it but with the hope that it helps our hurting community come to grips with his twisted act.

[16] In 1940, the Tucson Citizen and Arizona Daily Star entered into a joint operating agreement (JOA) that was later extended to 1990.

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed, saying the First Amendment does not exempt newspapers from laws aimed at preserving competition.

In response to the decision, Congress passed the Newspaper Preservation Act of 1970 to allow joint operating agreements.
