It was published once a week on Fridays until June 1, 1950 when the day of publication changed to Thursday. In 1951, Henderson Home News became a separate publication and continued to be published once a week on Thursdays.
Beginning in May 1954, Henderson Home News was published twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Biweekly publication continued until March 2002 when publication was cut back to once a week, again on Thursdays. The last issue of Henderson Home News was published Thursday, October 22, 2009. Greenspun Media, the publisher of the newspaper at the time, cited an economic and advertising downturn as the primary reasons for suspension of publication.
