Welcome to Whitley County!  Whether you live, work, play or just visit here, you will find that Whitley County is comprised of several vibrant and active communities full of great people endeavoring to do great things.  Located just minutes west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, the people and businesses in our area have the best of many worlds.  We enjoy the pleasures of a growing county with lots of amenities including shopping, numerous locally owned restaurants, and parks and recreation while still maintaining the warmth, livability and community of small towns.

Columbia City is the county seat located in the heart of the county, with Churubusco just to the north and South Whitley to the south on St. Rd. 205.  The town of Larwill is only minutes to the west on U.S. 30.  There are great treasures to be found throughout Whitley County which our newly formed county Chamber is determined to spotlight.  We also boast growing industrial strength as we sit neatly between the orthopedic capital of the world in Warsaw and the accessibility to the transportation infrastructure Fort Wayne provides.

We are continually told that this county is a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family.  We at the Whitley County Chamber of Commerce are committed to finding new and inventive ways to grow our organization, strengthen and support our businesses, spotlight our county and attract or foster new business.  Come and join us on our mission and discover the wonders of Whitley!
