The ''Sandusky Register'' has been in production since 1822, originally known as the '''''Sandusky Clarion'''''. Published in a building at the corner of Columbus Avenue and East Water Street, the ''Clarion'' became a daily newspaper on April 24, 1848. The ''Clarion'' office burned down in January 1852, destroying almost all files. Rechristened the '''''Daily Register''''', the paper continued to grow with its city, becoming a paper of Republican affiliation in 1856.<ref>[http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84028034/ ''Sandusky Clarion'' - Chronicling America.gov]</ref>
