The Sausalito News was the local newspaper in Sausalito, Marin County, California. It was published from 1885 to 1960.[1]

History

The first issue appeared on 12 February 1885.[2] As of early 1900, the paper was published weekly on Saturdays.[3] According to the 1887 Rowell's American Newspaper Directory, the paper positioned itself as "spicy, newsy, saucy and bold" and featured articles on "literary, sporting, society, fashion, scientific and telegraphic" topics.[4]

Sausalito News is part of California Digital Newspaper Collection, a searchable online database containing more than 600,000 pages from historic newspapers of California. The database is free and open to the public.[5]
