The Steinbach Post ran from 1913-1971 and served the German-speaking
Mennonite communities in Canada, USA, Mexico, and Paraguay. It carried world news and many letters reporting on local events from its many readers. It was first known as Der Volks-Zeitung and Der Volks Bote (1913-1916), Steinbach Post 1916-1927, Die Post 1928-1931, back to Steinbach Post 1932-1963, Die Post 1964-1970, Die Welt Post and der Staats Anzeiger in 1971.
The paper was begun by Jacob S. Friesen of Steinbach and in 1924 Arnold Dyck became the publisher and editor, followed by G.S. Derksen in 1936, and Jacob H. Block in 1957. In 1966 the printing of the paper moved from Steinbach to Omaha, NB and ended in 1972.
The paper was primarily printed using the German Gothic script which makes the process of making the paper word searchable difficult.
