A brief history
There are conflicting reports regarding the founder of the newspaper. Some say it was founded by J.J. McCauley in 1837, while others say it began in 1909 under William J. Bahmer, who was born in Bakersville in 1872.
Regardless of the founding date, one principle remains true today: The Tribune is committed to serving this tight-knit community of 37,000 and its rich history.
The City of Coshocton is the county seat of Coshocton County. Its name is a modernized version of the Delaware Indian word Goshachgunk, which means union of waters. The principal village of the tribe, known as Goshachgunk, sat at the fork of the Tuscarawas and Walhonding rivers, where the Muskingum River is formed.
Coshocton played a vital role in Ohio’s canal history and continues to shine a light on the town’s heritage and the importance of the Ohio & Eric Canal. Roscoe Village is a restored 1830s canal town that offers living history programs, interactive tours, artisan demonstration, costumed interpreters and a horse-drawn canal boat ride. It’s also known as the home to Annin, the oldest and largest American flag manufacturer in the country, and for its strong industrial base.
