On October 30, 1930 acting upon suggestion of Mr. N.W. Cowherd, editor of the Cave City News, some thirty-five representative citizens and businessmen met at a get-together dinner at the New Hotel Dixie to organize a Chamber of Commerce for Cave City. The need for such an organization had long been felt and after an enthusiastic meeting, marked by the evident desire of everyone present to help make Cave City a better place in which to live, officers and directors were elected. It was agreed that the body should incorporate under the laws of the State of Kentucky and that the annual dues for members would be $10.00 for business houses and $5.00 for individuals.

The Cave City Chamber of Commerce has continued to be an important organization for the city. They work hand in hand with city officials and the Tourism Board to improve the way of life for the citizens of Cave City and to promote area businesses at every opportunity.
