History

The Key Largo Chamber of Commerce has been a testament to the dedication and commitment of its members since the late 1930's when a group of Upper Keys business owners got together to discuss how to improve their business environment.

Incorporated in the 1970's, the Upper Keys Chamber of Commerce became the Legendary Key Largo Chamber of Commerce in 1985, capitalizing on the enormous power of name recognition. Key Largo is a renowned destination and a name that experience has proven guarantees an enthusiastic and positive response.

Since its inception, the focus of the Legendary Key Largo Chamber of Commerce has been the promotion of the economy through support of good business, good government and good citizenship.

The island of Key Largo, and the Florida Keys as a whole, relies totally on it’s major industry ……..Tourism. The Chamber promotes the importance of maintaining and enhancing this industry with the knowledge that all businesses in the community benefit from a thriving tourist economy.
