Arranged by date rather than alphabetically.

Los Angeles Star (1851-1864;1868-1879) This was originally a weekly, with the name La Estrella de Los Angeles and in the beginning (until 1855) was printed half in Spanish and half in English. When the Civil War broke out the outspoken criticism of the federal government by its editor led to the Star being banned from the mails, and the arrest of its editor for treason.It ceased publication in 1864, apparently due to financial problems, but resumed in 1868. In 1870 it became a daily, but ceased publication in 1879 because of lack of funds. No complete file is known to exist.

Southern Californian,(1854-1856) Weekly paper that was the Star's only competition for about 1 year. Its first issue proclaimed that its major effort would be to bring about a division of the state, without any reference to the question of slavery.

El Clamor Publico, (1855-1859) The third newspaper, published by a 17 year old boy, Francisco Ramirez. Weekly, written in Spanish, with occasional articles in English and in French. The paper became known for its campaign for better treatment of Spanish Americans, and urged their emigration to Sonora.When the paper ceased publication its editor went to Sonora to become the State Printer, and the printing supplies were used by the Los Angeles News.

Southern Vineyard,(1858-1860) Founded to foster closer relations between Americans and Spanish Californians. Weekly and then semi-weekly.

Semi-Weekly Southern News, (1860-1873) Started with the press of El Clamor Publico; weekly, then semi-weekly. Continued under various names until became the Los Angeles Daily News.

Wilmington Journal, 1864-1868 When the Los Angeles Star ceased publication in 1864 its press and equipment were sold to Phineas Banning, who almost immediately started printing the Wilmington Star; the paper soon changed its name to the Journal. Banning's politics, of course, were pro-Union, as opposed to the Star. And when the hostilities were over the paper announced that since Los Angeles already had a strong Union paper in the Republican, there was no longer any need for continuing publication.

Los Angeles Weekly Republican, (1867-1879) Founded to espouse the principles of the Republican Party. but apparently received no support from it. No relationship to the Evening Republican listed below.

Los Angeles Porcupine, (1877-1899) Weekly paper.

Los Angeles Daily News, (1869-1873) First daily newspaper in Los Angeles; developed out of the Semi-Weekly Southern News. Its Union sympathies countered the secessionist leanings of the Star.
