Championing Davis business since 1905

The Davis Chamber of Commerce exists to promote, support, and advocate the general economic vitality of its membership and the quality of life for the community.

Since 1905, we have been the connective tissue of Davis business: the room where a new owner meets a longtime one, the voice that carries local business to City Hall, and the hands behind the events that bring the whole town together.

The Davis Chamber of Commerce has shaped this community from the very beginning. In the early 1900s, the Davisville business association organized itself into a chamber of commerce, and then did something remarkable: it petitioned the University of California Regents to bring a university farm to Davis. That campaign succeeded, and it grew into what we know today as UC Davis.

More than a century later, that partnership still defines us. Davis is a university town, a place where research, talent, and local business have always grown side by side. It is, in many ways, where the future gets tested first, and the Chamber is where it all meets.

It is also an agricultural town at heart, surrounded by some of the most productive land in the world. Here, farm-to-fork is not a trend. It is simply how things have always been done, and how we have always done business: grown, not rushed, tended through relationships and a community that looks after its own.
