Bloomington businessman Jesse W. Fell founded the newspaper on January 14, 1837, making it the oldest-running business in McLean County. It was originally called "The Bloomington Observer and McLean County Advocate". Through the years, the newspaper went through several name changes, such as "The Whig", "The Intelligencer", "The Daily Pantagraph" and "The Pantagraph" in 1985, finally shortened to just "Pantagraph" in 2006.
