Anthony bought a press in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. in 1872 to start a newspaper in Jasper, former editor Michael D. Anderson, Sr. said. Anthony was told “Man, you’re going to need an eagle to deliver newspapers in those mountains.” According to another former editor Skip Tucker, the name derived from a joke the mule driver who delivered its first press—that "only an eagle could deliver the news." In 1960, after a merger of The Walker County Times, The Jasper Advertiser, and The Mountain Eagle, the newspaper was renamed as the Daily Mountain Eagle and changed to daily publication.
