History

The West Orange Times & Observer was first published in 1904, but not by that name.[1][3] In 1970, George Bailey, a Korean War veteran, bought the Winter Garden Times which he renamed the West Orange Times.[4] It was acquired by OMG in 2014.[3][5]

OMG is headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, and West Orange Times & Observer is now part of a family of twelve newspapers in Florida, some of which were founded by OMG, others were acquired by OMG. Most of them now utilize the corporate brand of "Observer" in the title which came from Longboat Observer, the first OMG-owned paper.[3]

As of 2019, the West Orange Times & Observer and the West Orange Observer (Windermere, Dr. Phillips and Horizon West) a free publication has a combined circulation of 31,489 copies and is distributed weekly on Thursdays.[1]
