Houston Post , Washington D.C. Bureau

The Houston Post was a newspaper, established in February 1880 by Gail Borden Johnson and absorbed into the Houston Chronicle in 1995. The Chronicle, with bureaus in Washington, D.C., and Austin, is a part of the Hearst Corporation.

In 1881, Johnson combined the Post with the Houston Telegraph . Three years later it was sold to William R. Baker and other Houston citizens, but the investment could not save the paper from going under. In April 1885, the longest-running and most recent incarnation of the Post was established via the combination of the Houston Morning Chronicle and the Houston Evening Journal . The Houston Dispatch was also merged into the Post, in 1924.
