On January 1, 2000, Starke County, Indiana experienced more then just a new millennium. The Greater Knox Area Chamber of Commerce and the North Judson Chamber of Commerce joined together to create a countywide chamber, hence the Starke County Chamber was established.

Joining both groups of business people took some planning, but all were concerned with maintaining a positive business climate. Because both Chambers were willing to work together a much stronger Chamber was formed. The Chamber is dedicated to the continuous improvement of Starke County's business environment thereby supporting the overall economic development and the quality of life in our county.
