Carrington Commercial Club was organized in January 1907 with these goals: to form a closer bond of friendship among its members, the citizens Carrington, to develop social qualities, promote good fellowship and secure the happiness which emanated from such endeavors, to promote the commercial and business interests of the city, to promote and advance the growth and welfare of the city, and so forth.

Officers for the first year were:

A.C. Smith, president;

W.J. Doyle, vice-president

G.S. Newberry, secretary and

N.E. Landeen, treasurer

One program that was presented was a paper on the question of a better farming expert for this county and levying a 1/2-mill levy tax for supporting the expert.
