Founded in February of 1916, we have proudly served our members and the community for more than 100 years! Knox County is unique in our vast array of businesses that call Central Ohio home. The geographical center of Ohio is located right here in Knox County in the Village of Centerburg to be exact.

Our location is attractive for businesses, experiences, and living in a rural yet vibrant community.
We welcome individual investors, home-based companies, and small and large corporations. Like all chambers, we offer many services and benefits to assist our members. Every community has a chamber of commerce and their role in connecting people and promoting commerce is vital in our community and around the world.

The Knox County Chamber of Commerce serves all of Knox County and our neighbors beyond our county lines. How may we assist you and your business? Let us know and we look forward to meeting and working with you!
