The SanTan Sun News is a free bi-weekly newspaper published in southern Chandler and Gilbert, Arizona.
[1] 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 16–20 pages and circulation at about 7,000.
A name changing contest was held in the fall of 2004 and launched the new name, SanTan Sun News, in January 2005.
Fagen-Hancock LLC sold SanTan Sun News to Times Media in March 2013, following the death of Geoff Hancock.
