History:
The modern Chamber of Commerce movement traces its origin to Marseilles, France, where an independent voluntary organization was formed in the early seventeenth century to represent the commercial interests of this Mediterranean seaport.
The first American Chamber of Commerce was established in 1770, in New York City. By 1870, Chambers were operating in 40 major American cities. In 1986, approximately 5,000 local and state chambers were operating across the United States.
For over three centuries, business and professional people have joined together in Chamber of Commerce to shape the future of their communities and the world.
