About

The Albuquerque Evening Herald served New Mexico's most populous city, located in Bernalillo County. By 1900, Albuquerque had 6,238 inhabitants and nearly doubled its population to 11,020 a decade later. Albuquerque expanded along with the railroads, including the New Mexico Eastern which by 1909 had extended the town's trading area to the Texas state line. Newspapers in Albuquerque competed vigorously with fifteen weekly and six dailies produced between 1900 and 1912. Additionally, seven specialized journals drew their profits, in part, from Albuquerque. The Albuquerque Daily Citizen (forerunner to the Albuquerque Evening Herald) and the Albuquerque Journal-Democrat and their descendants were the largest newspapers. Neither proved dominant until 1905 when Thomas Hughes, editor of the Daily Citizen, because of his ailing health, sold the newspaper to several Republicans. Four years later, a group of Democrats combined the Daily Citizen and the Tribune to form the Tribune-Citizen. In just two years, the Tribune-Citizen went bankrupt and was sold to another group of Republicans who renamed it the Albuquerque Herald.
