Mooresville-South Iredell C/C

Full Description:

The Mooresville Chamber of Commerce was first established in 1916 "for the purpose of uniting and combining people into a band of laborers, that will work for the Town and its interest at all times" (W.J. Haselden, "Mooresville, North Carolina : The Early Years, P 149, 1967) Almost 90 years later, the chamber is still accomplishing this early ambition. In 1953, the Mooresville Chamber of Commerce was reorganized and received a Certificate of Incorporation from the State of North Carolina. It was at this time the chamber had its first full-time paid staff. It operated under this name until 1982, when the Mooresville Chamber of Commerce and Mooresville Merchants Association merged. From this merger, the chamber assumed its current identity of the Mooresville-South Iredell Chamber of Commerce.
