History
The newspaper began publication in February 1914. It was published until July 1935, when it merged with its competitor, '' The Star'', and continued as the ''Christchurch Star-Sun''. The name was simplified to ''The Christchurch Star'' in 1958, and publication of the daily ceased in 1991. ''The Star'' later reappeared, first twice-weekly and then as a weekly community newspaper.References
