Formed in 1922, the Rocky River Chamber of Commerce was founded for the purpose of “promoting and protecting the moral, social, business and civic interests of the Village of Rocky River Ohio.” A dedicated group of business-minded individuals gathered to form a business association as the village continued to develop into a flourishing city.
On February 27, 1922, the Rocky River Chamber of Commerce was incorporated as a 501(c)6 organization. There were 23 charter members and established committees included: membership, program, boosters, merchants and traffic. Records show that in 1938 the initiation fee was set at $2.50 and annual dues at $5.00.
Over the years, our Chamber has evolved and grown based on needs and suggestions of our members – and, types of businesses have changed, as well! At one time, the Chamber was home to numerous truck farms and greenhouses, and now supports tech companies, law offices and so much more.
With nearly 400 energetic members, the Rocky River Chamber is known as “the best of the west” and takes great pride in hosting memorable events infused with non-stop networking. With a goal to further the interests of businesses in our community, the Rocky River Chamber is dedicated to connecting members and stimulating our local economy.
The Chamber has featured a few logos over the year, but in December 2018, we proudly debuted our new logo designed by Chamber member The Markey Group
