From its early years after it began production in 1872, The Danish Pioneer was printed in Omaha, Nebraska. In 1893, it was possible to print 6,000 pages per hour. When the new building was erected in 1903, The Danish Pioneer had 16 employees.

Approximately 75% of the subscribers were Danish farmers. For many, The Danish Pioneer was the only contact with the outside world. The farmers needed to have information and to learn what was going on in society, so they subscribed to The Danish Pioneer. Some of the farmers did not speak English, but The Danish Pioneer brought them news, which was written in Danish, from Denmark and America.

Editor Sophus Neble realized the farmers needed him, so he even established funds to help farmers suffering because of the drought. Neble was educated in Stubbekoebing, Denmark. He was an active sportsman. He did a lot of hunting and fishing. He hired Indians and went fishing in the Everglades in Florida, where no white man had ever set foot before.

The Danish Pioneer covered World War I from 1914 to 1918 extensively. The Danish Pioneer was the dominating immigrant newspaper of the time. In some of the issues of The Danish Pioneer during the 1920's, you could read about Danes, who had been successful in America and their subsequent visits to Denmark. In addition, many Danes found jobs through ads featured in this historical Danish-American newspaper.

After Editor Sophus Neble's death in 1931, his wife Olivia and son Eyvind continued the publication of The Danish Pioneer. The newspaper moved to Elmwood Park, Illinois in 1958.
