During the late 1800’s a group of Hutchinson business men formed an organization interested in promoting the business affairs of a growing community and named it the Hutchinson Commercial Club. The grouped focused on bettering the physical and commercial aspect of the merchants. In 1911, the Union Club replaced the Hutchinson Commercial Club. Years later, the name was changed to the Hutchinson Civic and Commerce Association, then in 1948 the Hutchinson Area Chamber of Commerce was incorporated.
