The Parramatta Chronicle And Cumberland General Advertiser was an English language newspaper published in Parramatta, New South Wales, Australia.
Newspaper history[edit]
The Parramatta Chronicle And Cumberland General Advertiser was first published on 30 December 1843 by local printer Edmund Mason.[1] In the first editorial on page 1 of 30 December, the purpose of the paper was outlined as the "...promotion and protection of the trading, agricultural, and pastoral interests of the district...".[2] The editors promised to "zealously" labour for the advancement of "...the town and district of Parramatta to that important eminence her wealth, population, and resources entitle her to".[2]
The Chronicle was later sold by Mason to B.E. Bailey in September 1845 and from 4 October 1845 it appeared as The Cumberland Times and Western Advertiser, which ceased publication in 1911.[3]
