Howard Publications bought the Waterloo Courier and Cedar Falls Record in 1983. At that time, the Courier had been owned for 128 years by the same family, and had a daily circulation of around 55,000 in 1983. The circulation of The Record was about 4,000. Lee Enterprises acquired the Howard chain in 2002.
