The original Galston Gazette started in 1968. It was formed by the local Progress Association at Galston. Members included Bill Folkard, John Kars, Ken & Caryl Turnidge, Bob Stephens, Charlie Rogers (who had recently been elected to Hornsby Council), Irene Rogers and Ruth Chiswell.

This group decided to start a small local newspaper named the Galston Gazette. David Chivers of Crosslands Road, Galston was the first printer.

The Progress Association and the Galston Gazette changed hands at the next Annual General Meeting ??? it moved to the management of The Galston Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, the paper changed its name to the Galston & District News.

In 2000 a new community paper started in Glenorie, called The Glenorian run by David Bevan of Daveprint.
