First published on May 19, 1877, the Williamson County Sun was founded by Jessie E. Cooper (1855-1944). In its first century of operation, the Sun initiated numerous civic projects, such as the building of the first railroad in Georgetown, Wesleyan Retirement Home, and low cost housing. Editors of the paper included Frank T. Roche, John R. Allen, John M. Sharpe, and Robert W. Cooper, son of the founder. Donald and Clara Scarbrough became the second full owners of the enterprise in 1948. The oldest newspaper in Williamson County, the weekly Sun became a semi-weekly in 1974. (1978)
