The paper was founded in 1970. Five years later it was purchased by Dick Morgan, Max Swearingen and Pat O'Connell.[2]
In 1978, the paper transitioned from a weekly to a Monday through Friday publication. The Clarion began producing its web edition in April 2000.[2]
In 1990, the paper was purchased by Georgia-based Morris Communications.[3] In 2017, Morris sold its newspapers to GateHouse Media.[4] In 2018, GateHouse sold its Alaska papers to Sound Publications.[5]
Beginning May 3, 2023, the Peninsula Clarion is reducing print frequency from five days a week to two. The paper is also shifting printing to an off-site Alaska printer.[6]
