Over 30 years ago a group of Community Leaders got together to form an organization, now known as the Port O'Connor Chamber of Commerce, to promote commerce and business activities in Port O'Connor. This organization also acts as a voice for the community in lieu of a local government.

Today, the Port O'Connor Chamber of Commerce not only fulfills its original goals, but also gives scholarships to needy students, sponsors the renowned 4th of July Fireworks Weekend Celebration, Christmas Lighted Boat Parade, Christmas House Lighting Contest & POCIF Fishing Tournament Parade. The Chamber has been instrumental in the creation of KingfisherBeach and its beautification program, the Pedestrian Ferry to MatagordaIsland and formed the first sub-committee, which lead to the creation of our beautiful Port O'Connor Community Center.

The Port O' Connor Chamber of Commerce is moving into the 21st Century to be even more responsive and productive to the community by sponsoring a dynamic and interactive website available to all Members for promoting their businesses.
