The first issue was published on 2 June 1909, ahead of elections to the Norwegian Storting in the autumn of the same year.
Initially the paper only came out a few days a week and contained only a few pages.
The Labour Party eventually found a new newspaper in Vestfold Socialdemokrat, founded in 1921 as a local organ for the Social Democratic Labour Party.
Vestfold Arbeiderblad was stopped between September 1940 and May 1945, during the German occupation of Norway.
It absorbed other Labour Party newspapers; Horten Arbeiderblad in 1962 and Vestfold Fremtid in 1983.
