The newspaper Border Post and Stannum Miner was first published on 20 July 1872 in Stanthorpe on foolscap paper. Later it was published on broadsheet. In 1971 the title was simplified to Border Post and the newspaper printed as a tabloid.[1][2]

The title Stannum Miner was then adopted by the Stanthorpe and District Historical Society as the name for their journal (formerly known as the Bulletin).[3]

In 1994, Australian Provincial Newspapers acquired a controlling interest in the Border Post.[2]

Along with many other regional Australian newspapers owned by NewsCorp, the newspaper ceased print editions in June 2020 and became an online-only publication from 26 June 2020.[4]
