Kensett Courier
​Kensett City Council Meeting Minutes:

The town of Kensett was incorporated in 1872. In 1879 we got our first newspaper which was called the Kensett Mail. It was started by James Elliot and Mr. Raymond. Mr. Elliot was noted for his fiery editorials which took a prominent part in the heated efforts to move the Worth County seat to Kensett. After this effort failed the Kensett Mail eventually went with the Northwood Pioneer. Our second newspaper was the Kensett News established in 1884 with manager Fred Mitchell. This business was located in a small white building that stood where the county shed has its road salt on main street. It was the leading newspaper in Worth County with a circulation of 1,700. The subheadings included the Manly Chronicle, Joice Review, and Grafton Journal. Now we have the Kensett Courier, not a newspaper but a way to keep the Kensett residents aware of what is going on in the community. We are starting our 39th year of the Courier.
