History of the Chamber
The Rumford Chamber of Commerce began on December 12, 1912. Its main goal was to secure, enhance, and attract industry in the Rumford area. It began as a men's organization in the rooms of the Business Men's Club of Rumford. In 1920 the Chamber had a membership of 125 active businessmen. In 1992 there were 52 business members, both men and women. In 1995 the name of the Chamber was changed to The River Valley Chamber of Commerce to better represent the ten towns that it covers.
