{{Short description|1840s newspaper in Nauvoo, Illinois}} [[Image:NauvooNeighbor.jpg|thumb|right|An edition of the ''Nauvoo Neighbor'']] {{italic title}} The '''''Nauvoo Neighbor''''' was a weekly [[newspaper]] edited and published by [[Latter Day Saint]] [[Apostle (Latter Day Saints)|apostle]] [[John Taylor (Mormon)|John Taylor]] in [[Nauvoo, Illinois]], from 1843 to 1845. While it was not an official publication of the [[Church of Christ (Latter Day Saints)|Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints]], the ''Neighbor'' was consistently pro-[[Mormon]] and its primary target audience was the Latter Day Saint residents of Nauvoo. When ''[[The Wasp (newspaper)|The Wasp]]'' ceased publication in April 1843, the ''Neighbor'' replaced it as Nauvoo's premier secular newspaper.
The ''Neighbor'' reported on local, state, national, and international news and also commonly featured agricultural, commercial, scientific, and religious news as well as excerpts of literature. It, along with ''[[Times and Seasons]]'', was the primary vehicle in which a Latter Day Saint perspective on the incarceration and [[death of Joseph Smith|death]] of [[Joseph Smith]] was transmitted to the public.
The first edition of the ''Nauvoo Neighbor'' was dated March 3, 1843. The final edition was published on October 29, 1845. Publication ceased when the majority of Latter Day Saints, including Taylor, decided to leave Nauvoo and emigrate to the [[Salt Lake Valley]] under the direction of [[Brigham Young]].
