The Davis story

Seventy towns wanted it. Davis won.

In 1905, a handful of Davisville business owners formed the Chamber with one mission: win the new University Farm. Seventy other towns wanted it. Davis won. That farm became UC Davis.

That one decision still shapes every street, storefront, and harvest in Davis today.

Everything since has carried the same idea. When Davis businesses organize, the whole town moves forward. We have done it for 121 years, and we are just getting started.
