The Herald's origin dates back to The Lantern, a weekly newspaper started in 1872. Owned by a local entrepreneur, J. M. Ivy, it was renamed The Herald in 1874, and it would be known as The Evening Herald until 1986, when a Sunday edition was added. The publication time switched to mornings in 1989.
The Herald was privately held by several owners until 1985 when The News & Observer Co. of Raleigh purchased the newspaper from the Patrick family. Its last publisher under family ownership was Wayne Patrick, whose family still lives in Rock Hill. On Jan. 1, 1990, The Herald and its three community publications – the Yorkville Enquirer, the Clover Herald and Lake Wylie Magazine – were purchased by The McClatchy Co. The Herald bought the Fort Mill Times in 1998.
