Founded as the News Echo in 1872, the Lockhart Post-Register merged several times with newspapers which included the Caldwell Register (1879) and the Lockhart Post (1899). The newspaper has kept the name Lockhart Post-Register since 1915.

Inside the Lockhart Post-Register in the 1920s L-r William M Shofield, Bob Andrews, Stanley Mohle, Nep Stoker, and J. Louis Mohle, Sr. Shofield owned interest in the newspaper from 1913- 1940, Andrews from 1913-1928, the Mohles bought interest in the business from the 1920’s until they owned it all in 1940.

The Garrett family purchased the newspaper in 1979. Dana & Terri manage the newspaper today.
