History
The current title, The Holland Sentinel, dates to 1977. A library catalog record lists publication under that title beginning with the April 1, 1977 issue. The Library of Michigan likewise lists holdings of the Holland Sentinel beginning in 1977 and holdings of the preceding Holland Evening Sentinel through 1977. An earlier title was the Holland Daily Sentinel.
The newspaper was formerly part of Stauffer Communications. In 1995, Morris Communications acquired Stauffer; a 2007 report on Morris's later divestiture identified The Holland Sentinel among the properties Morris had acquired through the Stauffer transaction.
In December 2007, Morris completed the sale of 14 daily newspapers, including The Holland Sentinel, as well as three non-daily newspapers, a commercial printing operation and related publications, to GateHouse Media.
In November 2019, GateHouse completed its acquisition of Gannett. The combined company retained the Gannett name and became the largest newspaper publisher in the United States by number of newspapers. Gannett Co., Inc. changed its corporate name to USA TODAY Co., Inc. effective November 18, 2025.
