History

The newspaper was first published in 1902 from offices at Abbey Square, Enniscorthy, County Wexford.[1] It was founded by William Sears and Sir Thomas Esmonde.[2] In 1908 it moved its offices to Mill Park Road, Enniscorthy.[1] In March 2008, the newspaper moved to new offices - located at Slaney Place, Enniscorthy.[1]

The newspaper was part of the Thomas Crosbie Holdings group. Thomas Crosbie Holdings went into receivership in March 2013.[3] The newspaper was acquired by Landmark Media Investments.

In June 2017, a liquidator was appointed to the Wexford Echo Limited. The liquidator will keep the publications going while they seek a buyer.[4]
