How we started
Hesperia spreads across the High Desert, with Joshua trees in the open ground, the San Bernardino Mountains on the horizon and Hesperia Lake drawing people out to fish. The wind, the wide sky and the drive through Cajon Pass are familiar parts of living here. We started Our Hesperia because a place with a landscape and daily life this distinctive called for news rooted in Hesperia itself.
We are part of Times Media Service. We also cover Adelanto, Apple Valley and Victorville, communities that share the desert roads and mountain views around Hesperia. We share our region with sister site High Desert News Online. Our attention stays on the places our readers know, from the lake to the neighborhoods beneath those big skies.
