The Dunmunkle Standard was established by Edwin Boase (with assistance from Edward James Stephens) in December 1878. Boase ran the newspaper until his death in 1911, at which time his wife took over ownership. During Mrs Boase's proprietorship, P. J. Cummins edited and managed the newspaper.
Mrs Boase sold the paper in 1828 to David O. Aubrey and James T. McKay. (McKay had worked for the Standard for 24 years.)
