The final edition of the Pompano Beach Town News came off the press on Saturday, April 20, 1963. The newspaper had been bought by the Gore Publishing Company, which owned the Fort Lauderdale News and Sun-Sentinel.

Managing Editor Ed Seney wrote the newspaper's farewell:

This is the last edition of the Town News.

We could express ourselves in many ways on this page about the end of a newspaper.

But instead we decided upon no tears and no sour grapes.

No one is to blame except economics.

For 13 years this newspaper has served the community as a local paper, both as a weekly and a daily. It was founded by a young woman named Doris Klein. It was then owned by Ted Spurr, Fran Zent and until the present, The Peoria Journal Star.

In its 13 years of existence it has published a library of news about the community. Anyone who is lucky enough to have a complete file of those 13 years has a valuable history of the area.

In the past few years as a daily it has tried to do a monumental task of reporting and reflecting the area with a news staff that wasn't always as large as we hoped it might be.

The people here who wrote the news, sold the ads, put the paper together, handled he finances, printed and circulated it have done so with a spirit that doesn't often come together in any one organization.

To put it simply, we had a lot of esprit de corps.

And we have made friends. We have personal friends and business friends who have expressed their friendship to us.

And, of course, a few enemies. A newspaper is not worth its salt unless it makes a few enemies.

It has been a wonderful experience. We hope we have served the community in the way we intended.

And don't blame anybody.

Just economics.

The Town News' offices and printing facilities were located at 24 NE 24th Avenue.
