Seventy towns wanted it. Davis won.
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.
