The paper went through various mergers and acquisitions over the years, which resulted in multiple name changes. The name changed in the early 1900s to the Farmington Times. It was later known as the Farmington Times-Hustler^[2][3] following the 1903 merger of the Farmington Hustler and the Farmington Times.^[4] It went daily on 1 August 1949, becoming "the first daily paper in the history of Farmington."^[5] The change from a weekly to a daily paper prompted the owner Lincoln O'Brien to change the paper's name to the Farmington Daily Times.
