Brainerd Maples (The Hour)

The Hour Newspapers consist of The Hour, The Stamford Times and the Wilton Villager newspapers. The first issue, with a Westport dateline, appeared on May 6, 1871.  The paper later moved to Norwalk and had several locations in the uptown area, finally settling on a building at the foot of Mill Hill. Along the way, the newspaper became a daily, beginning in 1895. It is the only independent daily newspaper in Fairfield County.
