History
editIn 1963, Dawne P. Goodwin and Jane Gilman canvassed the Larchmont area in Los Angeles to start a community newspaper. The first issue of the Larchmont Chronicle was mailed to 10,000 families in the upper income areas of Hancock Park and Windsor Square. Both women secured 28 advertisers for the first 12-page issue. They each earned $250 on the first issue.[2]
Goodwin retired in 1997, moved to Fallbrook, and died in October 2012.[3] In April 2015, Gilman sold the paper to attorney John Welborne.[4] Gilman remained a contributing editor until she officially retired a year later.[5] In January 2025, Andrew and Hedy Hutcheson acquired the paper.[6]
