The Jordan Springs Gazette reached a significant milestone recently, celebrating the 10th Anniversary since it was first published.
The very first edition was delivered into letterboxes in July 2013. The front page would feature a young couple who were building their first home in Jordan Springs. Starting their lives together, their story would begin with a marriage proposal and a candle-lit dinner surrounded by the framework of their home.
Fast forward to 2023 and what a ride it’s been. We have been there every single month over the past decade, watching the community grow with you.
Looking back is like a giant book of photos and memories. So, what are some of the important events we’ve covered?
