History

Founded by Alex Stolting in 1875 as The Erie County Independent,^[3]^[4] it was initially published in Buffalo and Hamburg, New York.^[3] Stolting also founded the volunteer fire brigade in Hamburg.^[4] The paper was sold to J. W. Constantine five years later, then to Charles G. Miller in 1882.^[5] Charles was succeeded by his brother, Joseph B. Miller as proprietor of the paper.^[5]

In 1945, former employee Dick Allen purchased the Independent for $500 and changed the name to Hamburg Sun.^[6]^[7]^[8] Allen, a native of Hamburg, had been employed in newspaper and public relations in Chicago before enlisting to fight in World War II.^[7] On returning from the war he decided to settle down in his hometown, starting his own Hamburg Sun publication before purchasing the Independent and merging the two papers.^[7]

The Hamburg Sun ceased publication briefly in 2016 after its then owner Community Papers of Western New York^[9] was forced to claim bankruptcy.^[10] The bankruptcy was just two years after the conglomerate took ownership from Metro News in 2014.

The paper was put up for auction after the collapse. Since February 2017, it has been owned by The Buffalo News,^[11] a media property owned by Berkshire Hathaway.
