The Sentinel began in Shippensburg, Pa., as “The Valley Sentinel” on April 22, 1861. The Valley Sentinel continued to publish a weekly newspaper throughout the Civil War and then entered a period of instability, enduring frequent ownership changes and even bankruptcy.

In 1874, the newspaper moved from Shippensburg to Carlisle, where it struggled to make a name for itself in the face of already established competition. The Sentinel eventually flourished and acquired a building of its own in downtown Carlisle.
