The Daily New Mexican was first issued in Santa Fe in 1863 by Manderfield & Tucker, editors and proprietors. It continued as a weekly until July, 1868, when it was made a daily. The line of the Western Union Telegraph Company had been constructed to Santa Fe and telegraphic communications to Denver, to the north, and with Kansas City, to the east, had been obtained. From 1868 to 1880 it was the only daily paper in New Mexico. We locate no institutional holdings for this year and a only handful of holdings for any issues from the 1870s.
