Back in 1919, “live, progressive, public-spirited citizens” formed the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce from five separate business organizations in a move that united the business community and pushed the growing community forward a giant leap. More than 1,200 businesses scrambled to become members, which is impressive in a town of only 39,621 residents. The organization soon made a name for itself, providing relocation services for businesses, helping distant manufacturers find dealers and assisting tourists. “Cities don’t grow—they are built. Springfield Chamber of Commerce is a city builder. . .” the Chamber Bulletin declared.
