DUBUQUE VISITOR. The Dubuque Visitor was the first of the early news publications in Iowa. It was established at the LEAD mines in Dubuque in May, 1836, by John King. On June 3, 1837 the Visitor was renamed the Iowa News although it continued to be owned by King, W.W. Coriell and John B. Russell. Publication was ended in 1842 and the materials moved to Lancaster, Wisconsin.
