The first edition appeared on 24 October 1903 under the title Border Morning Mail and Riverina Times, produced by editor Hamilton Mott and his brother Decimus. It became the Border Morning Mail in May 1920 and took its present name in July 1988. Originally printed in Dean Street, Albury, the paper moved across the state line in 1999 into the former Albury-Wodonga Development Corporation headquarters in Wodonga. It is owned by Australian Community Media, the regional group held in equal halves by Antony Catalano and Alex Waislitz, and prints six days a week with a weekday circulation around 7,400 and a Saturday circulation around 14,700. Today, The Border Mail is mainly focused on news for Albury-Wodonga and the surrounding region, covering local government and planning, courts and policing, agriculture, health services, business and local sport, with national and international copy drawn from other ACM titles and Australian Associated Press, from their offices in Wodonga, Victoria, Australia. One interesting fact: the paper serves two cities in two different states and has covered decades-long cross-border disputes as a result, including the campaign to remove the level crossing from central Wodonga and the fight over the route of the Hume Freeway bypass around Albury.
