Choteau Acantha Newspaper

Choteau Acantha Newspaper The Choteau Acantha is a weekly newspaper and printshop established in 1894. We offer a full service They editorialized in favor of their community to no avail.

The Choteau Acantha weekly newspaper was originally established on September 15, 1894, in Dupuyer, Montana, a small rural community some 30-plus miles north of Choteau. The newspaper was established a year after Teton County was carved out of the much larger Chouteau County region. Three communities, Choteau, Bynum and Dupuyer, vied for the honor of hosting the county seat, and the Acantha's original publishers were convinced Dupuyer should be the county seat. By popular election, Choteau was the overwhelming choice. Ten years later, the Dupuyer Acantha moved to Choteau and became the Choteau Acantha. The newspaper has now been published continuously for the past 119 years. We certainly have one of the more unique names in newspaper lore. The way we understand the story, the original owners called their newspaper the "Acantha" from the Greek root word "acanthus," which can mean a thorn on an Acanthus plant or a spine on a fish. It's our understanding that the first Acantha was founded to be a thorn in the side of those who wanted the county seat in Choteau. Ask any county official around here - we can still be a little thorny some times!
