The Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1962 by the merger of the Seabrook and Kemah Chambers of Commerce. In 1964, the Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce merged with the League City Chamber of Commerce. The Clear Lake Area Chamber became the 11th chamber in Texas and the 214th in the nation to achieve accreditation with the Chamber of Commerce of the United States.

The Clear Lake Area Chamber is one of the most active and aggressive volunteer organizations in the community. Chamber Board Members, Committee Chairmen, volunteers and the Chamber staff wear a variety of “hats” in their efforts to stimulate and retain the business community, attract new business, maintain a high quality of life for residents and appeal to visitors and tourists.
