The Leaf-Chronicle is a newspaper in the state of Tennessee,founded,officially,in 1808. First appearing as a weekly newspaper under various names as early as 1808 and eventually as the Clarksville Chronicle,the current name is the result of a subsequent merger,in 1890,with the Tobacco Leaf,named for the area's predominant agricultural crop. The Leaf-Chronicle is published daily in Clarksville,Tennessee,being printed at a modern printing plant that is also used to print the weekly and biweekly newspapers controlled by the Gannett Corporation in northern Middle Tennessee. The Leaf-Chronicle achievement that has perhaps received the greatest acclaim in recent years is its continuing to publish every day after downtown Clarksville and its printing plant received a direct hit from a powerful tornado in January 1999.
