Originally the "Devizes and Wiltshire Gazette", the paper expanded and took over many smaller titles. It was purchased by the "Swindon Press" group and merged with other North Wiltshire papers owned by the group including the "North Wilts Herald" in 1920-22.cite book | title=A Swindon Retrospect 1855-1930| last=Large| first=Frederick| date=1970| edition =Fourth Edition|publisher=S.R.
