The Day was founded in 1881 by Captain John Mainwaring, a local businessman and community leader in New London, Connecticut. Mainwaring's idea was to create a daily newspaper that would serve the growing population of the region and provide comprehensive coverage of local news, events, and issues. Over the decades, The Day has remained an independent, family-owned publication, with the Dolan family currently serving as its owners.The Day covers a wide range of topics relevant to southeastern Connecticut, including local and state politics, community events, sports (with a focus on high school and college teams), business, arts and culture, and lifestyle content. Based in New London, the newspaper serves readers in the surrounding areas, including Groton, Waterford, and Stonington. The Day also maintains a strong online presence through its website, theday.com, allowing it to reach a broader audience beyond its print circulation.One interesting fact: Despite its relatively small geographic coverage area, The Day has a long history of investigative journalism and has been recognized for its in-depth reporting on local issues. The newspaper has won numerous awards from the New England Newspaper and Press Association, demonstrating its commitment to quality journalism and serving the needs of its community.
