On January 23, 1963 a group of business and professional people gathered in the community room of the Foster County State Bank and learned what a Chamber of Commerce was, how it worked, and a decision was made to form such an organization in Carrington.

T.A. Roney was instrumental in the organization of Carrington, and was elected the first president. He launched the action needed by polling the needs of the Community and then organizing committees to work towards fulfillment of those needs.

Some of the projects were to update travel guide pamphlets on the things to see and do in Carrington. Also a guide was published to be given to prospective newcomers to the city to help them to locate here. The Chamber established various projects to encourage people to shop in town. One of the latest projects is the formation of a Youth Council that is responsible for setting up a facility as a Youth Center for the community. They are also arranging a schedule for the use of the gyms in town for intramural games and other activities.
