The Rancho Cordova Grapevine-Independent, formerly the Rancho Cordova Grapevine, is the main newspaper of Rancho Cordova, California (a suburb east of Sacramento). This weekly publication has operated continuously since 1968.

History

The Grapevine was formed in 1968. Staff writer Doug Hawkes bought the publication in 1979, and in turn sold it to Robert Ling in 1989. Ling sold the paper to Herburger Publications of Galt, California. Herburger Publications then sold the newspaper to Kris Middaugh of Rancho Cordova. Kris Middaugh then sold the newspaper to Paul Scholl, owner of the Messenger Publishing Group in 2013. The Messenger Publishing Group publishes seven other local newspapers in the Sacramento region.

The Grapevine Independent has a weekly distribution of approximately 6,000 every Friday.

In addition to its weekly print edition, the newspaper also offers an online edition at www.RanchoCordovaIndependent.com.
