It was launched on 31 May 2012 as a relaunch of the former daily newspaper, the Scarborough Evening News, and incorporates information from the former Saturday edition of the Filey & Hunmanby Mercury.
At that time, the paper had a major rival in the Scarborough Daily Post, which had appeared six years earlier in 1876.
The rivalry between the two newspapers continued up to 1921 when the Evening News bought the Daily Post.
The newspaper gave a local slant on the day's news, plus a look at headlines across the United Kingdom and the world.
The organisation has announced its plans to include extensive daily online publishing, coupled with iPad technology.
