The Hastings Tribune has survived tornadoes, fires and facelifts during its 110 years of publication. Adam Breede purchased the Independent-Tribune then changed the name to the Hastings Tribune. It published weekly until the paper became a daily on Oct. 2, 1905.

The Tribune survived a lot of early competition, which included 10 weekly and three daily papers that started and folded in Adams County. Breede family members sold the newspaper to Fay Seaton and his sons on June 30, 1937, with Fred Seaton named the publisher. Fred Seaton went on to be a member of President Eisenhower's Cabinet in 1956, serving as Secretary of Interior.
