Park City Daily News
Encyclopedia
Park City Daily News is a daily newspaper
published in Bowling Green, Kentucky
.
The current newspaper can trace its roots to the Bowling Green Democrat founded in 1854. A rival paper, The Daily Times, was founded by John B. Gaines in 1882 and the newspapers eventually merged into the predecessor to the Park City Daily News. This newspaper is still owned by members of the Gaines family.
The name of the paper is due to a nickname for Bowling Green taken from a 1892 speech by Henry Watterson. Watterson, there to commemorate Fountain Square Park as the city's first park, opined that Bowling Green might come to be known as the "beautiful park city." Local businesses widely adopted the nickname until the town of Glasgow Junction, about 20 miles north, changed its name to Park City, Kentucky
, and the now-confusing nickname fell from local favor.
