Diverse Davis families gathered at dusk on the Community Park lawn during Family Fun Fest

The Davis Chamber of Commerce  ·  Est. 1905  ·  Vol. 121

This town was built by its businesses.

A bike-capital, farm-to-fork, university town where small business is a way of life. Welcome to Davis, and to the Chamber that has championed it since 1905.

The Origin · A feature

In 1905, a handful of business owners set out to win a university. They did.

In 1905, a handful of Davisville business owners formed the Chamber with a single, audacious mission: to win the new University Farm for their small railroad town. Seventy other towns wanted it too.

Davis won. That farm became UC Davis, and the decision rewrote the future of the entire region. It is the founding proof of what this Chamber has always believed, that when Davis businesses stand together, they can build something that lasts for generations.

One hundred and twenty-one years later, the work is the same: champion the businesses that make Davis, Davis.
