THE SANFORD JOURNAL, Florida, July 12, 1883
* Rare 19th century Seminole County publication
Gregory's "Union List of Newspapers" notes that only two institutions have more than a single issue of this title. This is the first newspaper we have ever offered from Sanford.
A typical newspaper of the day, a bit irregular at the spine margin, minor loss to the blank lower margin of the first leaf, mostly good condition. Folder size noted is for the issue folded in half.
AI notes: The Sanford Journal was a 19th‑century newspaper published in Sanford, Florida, serving the growing Seminole County community roughly from 1883 to 1893, and it is considered extremely rare today, with surviving copies or microfilm held only in select archival collections or historical societies rather than in widespread digital archives. It predated later local titles and chronicled early local affairs during a formative era for the town, but because it ceased publication more than a century ago and was never widely preserved in large runs, The Sanford Journal issues are scarce and often exist only in physical archives or specialist collections rather than in easily searchable online repositories.
