Cheers to 21 Years of InMaricopa.com: A Milestone Celebration!

Pinal County’s leading news source is celebrating a significant milestone: twenty-one years of delivering news to the community.
Launch in 2004 coincided with the town of Maricopa’s early growth, transitioning from a humble population of 4,000 to a vibrant community seeking timely updates. With only two monthly newspapers available, the residents were eager for continuous news coverage.
Scott Bartle initiated “Maricopa’s Homepage,” known today as InMaricopa. His vision addressed the demand for up-to-date reporting in a booming city. Since then, the platform has evolved significantly while remaining committed to community engagement.
The name change reflects the growth of the area, but the commitment to breaking news remains unwavering. Bartle, now publisher, emphasizes the improvements made over the years. “Thanks to our great team, InMaricopa is better than ever,” he stated, underscoring the outlet’s influence and dedication to impacting the community positively.
Since its debut, InMaricopa.com has garnered over 60,000 social media followers. Remarkably, last month, the platform saw more than four million interactions on its posts, with nearly one million unique visitors to the site, further solidifying its status in the region.
Pinal County relies on InMaricopa for a range of information—from local crime to community events and business developments. Stories capture everything from lighthearted community happenings to pressing societal issues, making the news outlet a critical resource.
The appreciation for the readership is clear. Bartle expressed gratitude for the community’s support in making InMaricopa the go-to source for news in Pinal County.
As the celebration of this milestone gets underway, InMaricopa looks forward to the future, ready to continue serving its community with dedication and pride.
