The Record was established in Deep River, Iowa in 1899 and is the official weekly newspaper of Poweshiek County, City of Deep River, City of Montezuma, City of Brooklyn, and Montezuma Community School District.
One year later, and a whole lot bigger!
On Sept. 1, 2024, the Bateses took ownership of The Record from longtime-owner and publisher Shirley Dunham. The Record is working hard to continue the tradition of an independent, trustworthy, and positive news source for Montezuma, Deep River, Barnes City, Brooklyn, Malcom, Guernsey, and Poweshiek County.
