The Arkansas Gazette was established by New York newspaperman William E. Woodruff in 1819. Woodruff first published the paper in Arkansas Post before moving his press up the Arkansas River to Little Rock in December 1821.

The Gazette was the oldest continuously published newspaper in the country until its sale to the Arkansas Democrat on October 18, 1991.
