History

In 1963, two young women 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. The women, Dawne Goodwin and Jane Gilman, secured 28 advertisers for the first 12-page issue. They each earned $250 on the first issue, and the paper has been in the black ever since. [2] Dawne Goodwin retired in 1997, moved to Fallbrook, California, and died on October 14, 2012. [3] The Chronicle later expanded its coverage and is now hand-delivered in a plastic bag to 21,000 households. [1] On May 1, 2015, Gilman sold the paper to attorney and neighborhood resident John Welborne; Gilman remains a contributing editor. [4]

Awards

The Larchmont Chronicle has been commended by many organizations for its support and promotion of their objectives. Non-profit agencies who have given awards include the American Red Cross, Wilshire Chamber of Commerce, Wilshire Community Police Council, the Los Angeles Conservancy, Windsor Square-Hancock Park Historical Society, City Councilman Tom LaBonge and the Miracle Mile Civic Coalition.
