A Little History

Steve Larson - Calexico Chronicle Owner
Steve Larson, Owner of the Holtville Tribune and Calexico Chronicle for many years.

The paper’s dear previous owner, Mr. Steve Larson, came to Imperial County, California, in 1991 and purchased the Holtville Tribune and Imperial Valley Weekly – Imperial Hometown Review, a weekly-published newspaper.

In 1999, Mr. Larson acquired the Calexico Chronicle publication, starting a minor media empire in the Southern California desert communities. He remained active with his newspapers until his untimely death, having just celebrated his 25th anniversary earlier that year.

Mr. Larson was a mentor towards his reporters and employees, many of whom continue to work the journalism trenches in his memory.

We continue to strive to give the community quality news that matters to them.
