About the Arvada Chamber of
Commerce
83 years and counting!
In 1925, Arvada
was a small farming community with a population of approximately
1,000 people. At that time, business leaders decided
to move from a Community Club structure to a full-fledge
Chamber of Commerce. With a new charter in hand, the
Arvada Chamber of Commerce began working to strengthen
Arvada¹s economy.
From the first
Harvest Festival in 1925 to the first traffic light in
1941, the Chamber helped the community achieve its economic
potential. Through the Great Depression and World War
II, members of the Chamber developed the foundation that
would help Arvada prepare for the economic growth that
lay ahead. Having served the community for 83 years, the Arvada
Chamber of Commerce continues to play an integral role
in the business community.
