In 2004, the organization is nearly 1700 members strong, and is dedicated to helping Riverside become even greater.

    As one of the oldest, largest, and most influential chambers in the state, the GRCC works closely with local government and other entities to stimulate development and improve the quality of life. The dedicated volunteerism and contributions from a large number of local business leaders and entities make this possible.

    The Chamber is pro-actively involved in every important issue facing Riverside. Chamber leaders bring people together to solve problems; they orchestrate meetings to discuss projects, and work diligently behind the scenes to forge agreements and compromises.

History

  • Edmund Jaeger. "This site is established in gratitude for all that Dr. Jaeger contributed to the understanding and appreciation of the California deserts. His memory lives on in his many books and articles, and also in the semi-annual visits that his friends and interested people make to the many desert sites that he frequented. These "Palavers," as he called them, are intended to give people a first-hand experience of our wonderful desert heritage - an experience not gained just by reading about the desert.

    In addition to the various articles now on this site, the intention is that this will be an extensive repository for finding information about Dr. Jaeger - both in the print media and on the World Wide Web." 
  • History of Riverside, CA from the City of Riverside. "Founded in 1870 by John North and a group of Easterners who wished to establish a colony dedicated to furthering education and culture, Riverside was built on land that was once a Spanish rancho. Investors from England and Canada transplanted traditions and activities adopted by prosperous citizens: the first golf course and polo field in Southern California were built in Riverside.

    The first orange trees were planted in 1871, but the citrus industry in Riverside began two years later when Eliza Tibbets received two Brazilian navel orange trees sent to her by a friend at the Department of Agriculture in Washington. The trees thrived in the Southern California climate and the navel orange industry grew rapidly.

    Citrus State Park Within a few years, the successful cultivation of the newly discovered navel orange led to a California Gold Rush of a different kind: the establishment of the citrus industry, which is commemorated in the landscapes and exhibits of the California Citrus State Historic Park and the restored packing houses in the Downtown's Marketplace district. By 1882, there were more more than half a million citrus trees in California, almost half of which were in Riverside. The development of refrigerated railroad cars and innovative irrigation systems established Riverside as the wealthiest city per capita by 1895..."

Museums

  • Mission Inn Museum. "The story of the National Historic Landmark Mission Inn stretches over more than a century and began with the Miller family. In 1874 Civil Engineer C.C. Miller arrived in Riverside, began work on a water system and was paid with a parcel of land in the center of the new town where the family started a hotel. His son, Frank Augustus Miller, later bought the property, improved and enlarged it, and by 1903 opened the first wing of the current Mission Inn building. The building grew in several stages and now fills an entire block with gardens and towers, arches and stairways. Throughout the site, visitors are able to view paintings, sculpture and furnishings from the Mission Inn collections."
