Davis Chamber of Commerce
Founded to bring the University of California to Davis. 121 years later, we are still building this city together.
A railroad stop and farming hamlet, named after Jerome C. Davis. The university was still 35 years away.
A thriving college city with 41,239 students, $13.18 billion in annual UC Davis economic impact, and the most bike lanes in America.
Davis painted the nation's first on-street bike lanes, an act of civic imagination that changed transportation history.
The most bike-friendly city in the United States, with a complete cycling network connecting every neighborhood, school, and business district.
A handful of local growers set up tables in Central Park. It became California's first certified farmers market.
Celebrating half a century this year. From a few tables to 90 vendors and over 500,000 visitors annually, the heart of Saturday morning in Davis.
Davis business leaders formed the Chamber of Commerce with one mission: convince the University of California to build its agriculture school here.
