In December 1875, George Pratt, the son of a minister, launched the first edition of the Daily Commercial, known then as The Sumter County Advance, in Leesburg. Leesburg was the Sumter County seat at the time. In 1887, many new county lines were added to Florida’s map. Lake County was carved from portions of Sumter, Marion and Orange counties. The paper has evolved in response to the area’s growth. The Daily Commercial was known for many years as the Leesburg Commercial, but the name now reflects the paper’s commitment to both Lake and Sumter counties. The Daily Commercial staff produces the South Lake Press, which provides south Lake County with community news and information.
