1905
From a train stop to a ten-square-mile miracle
When the Davis Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1905, "Davis" was barely a name on a map. A University Farm had just opened. A handful of merchants served the students and farmers who gathered at the train depot. Nobody could have imagined what would grow from those ten square miles.
121 years later, Davis is home to a world-class research university with a $13.18 billion economic impact, a Farmers Market celebrating its 50th year with 90 vendors, Nugget Markets (a Fortune 100 Best Company to Work For), over 100 miles of bike lanes and 25 bike bridges, and a community of 67,000 people who chose this place because it invests in itself.
The chamber has been here for every chapter. We plan to be here for every chapter that comes next.
