American Historical Press (AHP) stands tall as the nation’s leader in publishing distinguished city, county and state histories.  AHP is an independent publisher whose books continue to receive the highest acclaim from the worlds of academia, government and the general public.  While the very nature of our books denotes a beauty, style and grace that is unsurpassed, the pages are filled with impeccably researched historical accountings of each specific area, written by authors of substantial authority in their field. Each book brings great pride to the citizens of their community, inspiring a sense of belonging and identity.

AHP has published close to 100 titles with more in the planning stages.  Our books are often regional bestsellers and hold their own as respected volumes upon the shelves of public and private libraries, historical societies, museums and personal collections across the country.  It is not uncommon for them to be used as authoritative volumes in all levels of academia from grammar schools to universities nationwide. The focus of AHP always has been, and continues to be, the production of volumes that contribute to the documentation of regional history.
