The Pennsylvania Evening Post

On July 6, 1776, the Post became the first newspaper to print a copy of the United States' Declaration of Independence, which was unanimously adopted by the Second Continental Congress two days earlier, on July 4, inside present-day Independence Hall in Philadelphia

The Pennsylvania Evening Post was the first daily newspaper published in the United States, and was produced by Benjamin Towne from 1775 to 1783. It was also the first newspaper to report on the Lee Resolution[1] and to publish the United States Declaration of Independence.[2][3][4][5]
