Posts for specific dates

Hi,

I have the raw text from a bunch of old posts (from a now defunct blog).

I just created a new blog using WP (self-hosted). I’d like to “post” these old articles to my new blog, but I’d like the “posting date” to reflect their original posting date (some of which are go back a few years).

Is there a way to make a new post, but change its post date to some date in the past?
