History of Montavilla News

Montavilla News existed as a printed news publication in years past. The original version of Montavilla News began around 1912 but went out of print some years later. By the 1950s, Montavilla News returned with a mailed circulation of 11,000. That version of our publication ceased printing as well. The current version of this organization has no direct ties to the previous owners. However, it is with great respect for past incarnations that Montavilla News continues the legacy of informing the community and chronicling neighborhood events.
