The Emery County Progress began publication in 1900 in Castle
Dale, the county seat. In 1957 it merged with the Green River Leader
become the Emery County Progress-Leader. In 1977 the name
was changed back to the Emery County Progress.

Emery County Progress
From the September 15, 1900 issue:
"The publishers of The Progress have purchased from Mr.
C. A. Hyde the printing material, presses and plant of the late
Emery County Record, and perhaps with our next issue, at any rate
not later than the first of October, will print The Progress at
Castle Dale.
It will take a week or ten days to get the plant cleaned up and
in shape to get out a paper. It is expected to have a man here
in charge of the plant within the next few days, but it may be
a week or ten days.
After the first of October we shall be prepared
to do job work of all kinds, and solicit the patronage of all.
Crockett Bros."
The Crockett brothers were also early publishers of the Eastern
Utah Advocate, Price, Utah.
