About San-Tan-Valley

Our Journey Begins: 2012

San-Tan-Valley was founded in 2012 with a vision to become the go-to news source for the vibrant and diverse community of San Tan Valley, Arizona. We embarked on this journey to fill an information gap that we noticed in the region—a lack of comprehensive, unbiased, and accurate local news coverage. Our founders believed that every resident deserves access to reliable and up-to-date information about their city, its events, and the people who call it home.

  • 2017: Expanded our team and began producing multimedia content, including videos and podcasts, to cater to a wider audience.
  • 2019: Introduced an interactive community calendar, allowing residents to easily discover local events and connect with their neighbors.
  • 2021: Achieved a significant milestone of 100,000 monthly unique visitors, solidifying our position as the leading news source for San Tan Valley.
