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.Simon, Stephanie. (1995, November 8).
