The Stuart News grew out of the merger of the Stuart Times (1913) and Stuart Messenger (1915), which was sold to the Clyma family in 1922. They converted the publication into a daily newspaper called the Stuart Daily News in 1925, claiming then that Stuart was the smallest town in the U.S. to have a daily newspaper. Sold to Edwin A. Menninger in 1928, it was renamed the Stuart News when it became a weekly in 1934. The newspaper was sold to Gordon B.

The Press was bought out by the Schumann group and the first edition of the weekly Vero Beach Press Journal was published in May 1927.
