Formation of the Coeur d’Alene Chamber
According to local historian Robert Singletary, the Coeur d’Alene Regional Chamber’s story began in 1912, when a group of local businessmen known as the Commercial Club began meeting to explore a more organized approach to attracting business and supporting the community’s growth.
One of those meetings took place aboard the steamboat Colfax as it cruised Lake Coeur d’Alene. Against the backdrop of the lake, the group laid the foundation for what would become the Coeur d’Alene Chamber of Commerce—beginning a legacy of business leadership, community connection, and perhaps even a tradition of mixing a little business with pleasure.
