History of SanTan Sun News

The paper was founded as Ocotillo News by Sandy and Dan Holland of Clemente Ranch in 1995. Laurie Fagen and Geoff Hancock, as Fagen-Hancock LLC, purchased the Ocotillo News in 2000, when the page count was about 16-20 pages and circulation at about 7,000. Within the next year, "Ocotillo News" was replaced in the masthead with "Southern Chandler News" . A name changing contest was held in the fall of 2004 and launched the new name, SanTan Sun News, in Jan. 2005.

Fagen-Hancock LLC sold SanTan Sun News to Times Media in March 2013, following the death of Geoff Hancock.
