Pennsylvania Evening Post
The Pennsylvania Evening Post, a Philadelphia newspaper printed by Benjamin Towne from 1775 to 1784, was the first newspaper to print the United States Declaration of Independence, which it published on July 6, 1776. The Post was also the first newspaper to publish the Lee Resolution, which established the new country. Known as "The Resolution for Independence", the Lee Resolution was passed by the Second Continental Congress on July 2, 1776, and printed in The Pennsylvania Evening Post that evening.
After initially appearing three times a week, in 1783 Towne began publishing the Pennsylvania Evening Post every day, making it the first daily newspaper in the United States.
