Cheshire Today The first public step toward forming a Cheshire Chamber of Commerce took place in the fall of 1953. According to The Journal on October 9, 1953, a group of local businessmen planned to meet at the Town Hall to discuss organizing a formal chamber. This meeting signaled a shared recognition that Cheshire’s growing business community needed a unified voice. Located at 195 South Main Street in Cheshire, the Chamber continues to serve as a vital link.
