The newspaper which preceded the Inglewood Daily News published its first edition as the Inglewood Star on April 21, 1888, from a newspaper office at the corner of Eucalyptus Street and Orchard Street (later named Redondo Boulevard and then Florence Avenue).
There was no post office in Inglewood at that time, so the publication was entered as second-class mail (periodical literature) in Los Angeles.
[1][2] In 1908, Hugh W. Hunt began publication of the Inglewood Poultryman in the community, which had a population of about a thousand and included forty families who owned poultry ranches there.
[5] Another newspaper business, the Inglewood Daily Californian, was owned by Donn Chamberlain and sold in 1928 to R.M.
[6][7] Another source stated that Paul V. Greene, at that time president of the Bank of Inglewood, purchased the six-day-a-week newspaper from Donn Chamberlain effective September 28, 1931.
[1][2] Towne J. Nylander, regional director of the National Labor Relations Board was suspended from his job after an Inglewood Daily News article about one of his speeches was reprinted in the United States Congressional Record.
[11][12] Dean took over active management of the business on June 17 after he and his family moved into their new home in Morningside Park.
[17] Publisher Edwin W. Dean offered a contract hinging on the results of a National Labor Relations Board vote, but he was turned down.
[19] In 1925, the newspaper, under Crow and Shaw, purchased a Cox-o-Type printing press, which was installed under the supervision of Joseph Cox, the designer.
