Historical Overview

The Texas City-La Marque Chamber of Commerce was formed in January of 1969 with the purpose of promoting civic, economic, industrial, agricultural, educational and social welfare for the people of La Marque and Texas City.

The merger between the Texas City Chamber of Commerce and the La Marque Chamber of Commerce came after several months of studies which showed the practicality of the formation of one central Chamber of Commerce in order to better serve the interests of both cities and the Metropolitan area.  The study was made on the premise that one large organization can undertake and carry out a more complete and effective program for our changing structure.

The Texas City-La Marque Chamber of Commerce currently has a membership of approximately 800 dedicated, community-spirited individuals, businesses, and industries who have truly helped make this a winning Chamber.
