The Leaf-Chronicle is the oldest newspaper in the state of Tennessee, founded in 1808.

First appearing as the weekly Clarksville Chronicle, the current name is the result of a subsequent merger with an erstwhile competitor, 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 following downtown Clarksville, and its printing plan, receiving a direct hit from a powerful tornado in January 1999.
