The "Southland Times" was first established in 1862 and published two or three times a week until it became a daily paper in 1875. From 1869, until its purchase by the INL (Independent Newspapers Limited), it was owned by the Gilmour family. Robert Gilmour became a part owner in 1869-70, and then in 1879 became the sole owner of the paper.
In 1972, digital computers and software, phototypesetters and a Japanese APR photopolymer plate were installed at the paper making the "Times" New Zealand's first fully computerised newspaper production system.
It changed hands again on July 1, 2003 when Independent Newspapers Limited was purchased by
