History of the Midlothian Chamber of Commerce

The Chamber of Commerce was organized in 1936 with Tom Dees of First National Bank as the first Chamber President.  The same men that made up the Chamber of Commerce also were members and workers in all churches in town, the Masonic Lodge, Woodman of the World, American Legion, and Lions Club.  They also purchased 5 acres of land as the Midlothian Silver Dollar Stock Show and built a modern stock show building and rodeo arena and finally the Civic Center building.  These members were also the City Council members, Mayors, School Board members and served on dozens of committees, foundations and board for many years.
