It also covers surrounding communities in Fayette, Greenbrier, Raleigh, Summers and Wyoming counties, West Virginia.

The Raleigh Register developed into a modern daily newspaper and began seven-day publication on June 6, 1923.

On May 31, 1926 the Herald and Evening Post combined as a morning daily newspaper known as the Beckley Post-Herald.

Despite the common ownership, the Register was generally a Democratic newspaper, and the Post-Herald a Republican alternative.

By 1981 the Register was simply an afternoon reprint and update of the Post-Herald, with a separate editorial page.
