The Phillipsburg Herald was established in 1882 continuing from the Phillips County Herald with William Bissel as editor and proprietor. Initially a Republican paper, it did become a Populist title during its run but later returned to its Republican roots. Bissell's wife, Mary M. Calkins, was the first newspaper woman in this part of Kansas. She continued her newspaper writing after her husband was no longer editor.
