In 2008, the Desert Valley Star was started as an online newsroom. Later that year it became a newsprint tabloid which soon merged with the American Free Journal, a newsprint tabloid that had been published since 1989.
The business was located in Yucca Valley and the product circulated in the High Desert of San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, but in 2009 the business relocated to Desert Hot Springs. Until 2010 it was published as two products; later that year the American Free Journal brand was dropped in order to focus on one exclusive product and the name became the Desert Star Weekly.
In April 2013, the business was sold to CommunityMedia of Orange County.
