Boulder establishes a Chamber of Commerce

Calendar contribution:

On Feb 23, 1872, the Boulder Chamber of Commerce was established with the Honorable J P Maxwell, Chairman, the Honorable T J Graham, Secretary, and members Captain D H Nichols, Judge Seth Terry (President of the Chicago-Colorado Colony), the Honorable J H Wells, and Alpheus Wright. At that time, they established a Board of Immigration. Yes, they were looking to influence more people to come to the Boulder Valley to live and work. Boulder County News
