Biographical / Historical
The Escondido Times was founded by A. J. Lindsay (possibly the same individual as Josephine Lindsay, publisher) in 1886, and was published until 1908, when it merged with the Escondido Advocate (est. 1891) to form The Escondido Times-Advocate (published from 1909-1995). The Escondido Times-Advocate then merged with the North County Blade-Citizen of Oceanside on December 3, 1995, and was subsequently known as the North County Times. In 2012, the North County Times was bought by The San Diego Union-Tribune.
The Escondido Times-Advocate currently being published digitally is unaffiliated with previous versions of the newspaper.
