St. Johns Regional Chamber of Commerce
Mission Statement:
The St. Johns Regional Chamber of Commerce is a pro-business organization providing leadership, advocating growth, prosperity and community spirit.
History :
Originally named El Vadito or “little river crossing” by the original explorers, St. Johns was a thriving agricultural community in 1873. The community was renamed to San Juan (Spanish for Saint John) when it was established in 1880.
Since its incorporation in 1946, St. Johns has seen significant changes. Two fossil-fueled electric generating plants, a data communications earth center, and a thriving tourist industry make up a significant portion of the town’s economy. As the Southern Apache County seat, St. Johns is also the center of government activities in this northeastern county that lies along the border of New Mexico..
