The Morganfield Chamber first came into existence by becoming a corporation July 29, 1954. There were 12 board members listed in the records: C.T. McCullough, A.B. Davis, Will Tom Wathen, Compton Omer, W.E. Horsefield, William Anderson, Robert R. Hale, Marion Greenwell, Tyler Munford, Monsignor John M. Higgins, Sidney Hulette, and Anne Anderson.
There was also a Junior Morganfield Chamber of Commerce incorporated on May 21, 1958, and was later changed in 1975 to the Morganfield Jaycees.
For a while the Chamber seemed to have fallen off, but gradually was picked back up and dusted off by a few more caring people who didn’t want to see Morganfield come to a stand still. Now the chamber is growing and progressing in a positive state with membership picking up and new businesses being established within the city.
The overall objective of the Morganfield Chamber of Commerce is to advance the general welfare and prosperity of the Morganfield area, assure effective government at all levels and maintain a high climate for a sound, expanding economy. It is the conscience and the will of the community…the conscience to seek out the community faults and the collective will of its members to overcome them.
