The Herald-Star is a daily newspaper based in Steubenville, Ohio.

Its history began in 1806 with the founding of the Western Herald by William Lowry and John Miller.

Miller, who left the paper to fight in the War of 1812, eventually became governor of Missouri.

The initiator of this move was William R. Allison, who owned and edited the paper from 1846 to 1873.

[3] The paper merged with the Steubenville Star in 1897 to form the Herald-Star.
