Founded in 1977, the magazine was called Indianapolis Home and Garden,[2] changing its name in 1980 to Indianapolis at Home. In 1981, Mayhill Publications, owner and Publisher, Robert Thomas Mayhill, took ownership of the magazine, revising its name again to Indianapolis Monthly naming Deborah Paul Editor in Chief. [3] Indianapolis-based Emmis Communications purchased the magazine in 1988.[2]
