The first editor was Mr. F. W. Green under whose able management a wide and flourishing circulation was achieved and the venture paid a good dividend to its shareholders.

In those days when the only telephones were those in the post offices local news travelled very slowly and often came to residents through the medium only of the Auckland Weekly News, Waikato Times, Waikato Argus or notices at post office or public notice boards, one of which was situated at the Kauroa-Okete cross-roads.

Now all this was changed and a paper devoted solely to Raglan news and interests was a great boon and was eagerly looked forward to each week.

A Te Mata farmer, Frank W. Green was the first editor and ran the Raglan County Chronicle for over 10 years.

From 1913 until 1938 he too was Town Clerk and from 1915 to 1920 he was secretary of the Raglan Dairy Co.[5] Gerald Griffiths who was farming at Kauroa took over the Chronicle after returning from the war, about 1919.

Sanders and his wife ran the Chronicle for about 15 years and lived in a house behind the Bow St office.

The Centennial Booklet said, "Mr. C. H. Marcroft, came to the rescue and has succeeded in again making the paper the medium of interest and progress it was meant to be when it was started so enthusiastically 37 years ago."

Mike Bell was their literacy and numeracy tutor and assisted students to develop and conduct a survey asking Raglan residents about community needs.

Shortly after this in August 1988, Mike together with Jacqui Keelan who also worked for the Trust, borrowed $10,000 to purchase a printer and initiated the creation and publication of the first edition of the Raglan New Chronicle.

In 1997 Stephen and Tracy Frew took over and, in April 2004, the Chronicle once again got an office on Bow St in the former petrol station shop and dropped the 'New' title.

[9] April 2006 saw further change, as David and Jacqui Smith became editors and the Chronicle appeared for the first time in colour and reverted to tabloid format (see photo above).

[12] From 12 August 2021 the masthead was changed, with the subtitle "Ngā ripo o Whaingaroa - Whāingaroa Community News" added.

[13] In 2022 the Chronicle moved to share an office with the information centre, Raglan iHub,[14] which reopened in 2021 after losing its council funding.
