History

The Independent was founded in 1993 by Lynn Delaney after she left Milton Matters along with 16 others in December 1992, when the Milton town leadership expressed a desire to review articles before they were published.[1] She had been contacted by Emerson Lynn about starting a new publication, and put out the first edition of the paper on February 18, 1993.[1] Delaney remained as editor of the Independent until her retirement in 2010.[1]

In January 2021, the paper ceased its weekly print publication and moved to only publish online.[2]

Circulation

The Milton Independent started with a circulation of around 4,200, which had increased to 6,300 by 2018.[3][4]
