About the Chamber

The East Boston Chamber of Commerce brings the neighborhood's businesses together. It is a 501(c)⁠(6) nonprofit.

Our history

Local business leaders started the East Boston Board of Trade before 1960. They saw a need to come together to help East Boston's economy grow.

They believed that helping local businesses do well would help the whole community. That group is now the East Boston Chamber of Commerce.

“We believe the success of East Boston's businesses has a trickle-down effect on community organizations and families, improving the overall quality of life in East Boston.”
