The Chamber was originally formed in 1905 (then known as the Davisville Business Association) by a few local businessmen, in order to attract the University Farm School (now known as UC Davis) to this agricultural community. The “town-gown” relationship has been a strong and vital one ever since.
At the core of our city is a friendly, lively downtown business district operating as the Davis Downtown Business Association (DDBA) that the Chamber led efforts to bring to fruition. Residents and visitors alike enjoy the variety and quality of our shopping, dining and cultural pursuits.
Since its inception, the Davis Chamber of Commerce has had a commitment to the local community. Our Chamber is a vibrant business organization which reflects the vitality, education, community involvement, and quality of life characteristics of our locale. The Chamber is an invaluable resource to individuals, organizations and businesses, offering opportunities for growth, education, professional seminars and networking.
