The original Knoxville Journal was founded in 1855 by William Milo Stone, later a Civil War hero and Iowa governor.^[3] In those years, the paper expressed the growing sentiments of a newly minted Republican party.^[3] The name Express was added after mergers built out of the old Marion County Democrat paper, founded in 1865, which itself had evolved into the Marion County Express in 1879.^[4]
